Linux Foundation Certified Kubernetes Application Developer Sample Questions:
Question #1
You nave a Deployment running a web application tnat uses secrets to store sensitive information like database credentials. To improve security, you want to use a secret injection mechanism to provide the secret to the pod without exposing it in the deployment YAML.
Question #2
You are running a web application within a Kubernetes cluster. The application consists of two pods, each with a resource request of 1CPU core and I GiB of memory. However, you've noticed that the application experiences performance issues during peak traffic hours. To mitigate these issues, you decide to implement resource quotas tor the namespace where the application runs. You want to ensure that the application pods receive adequate resources while preventing other applications from consuming excessive resources. Design and implement a resource quota for the namespace that sets limits for CPU and memory resources.
Question #3
You are running a Deployment for a database service with 3 replicas. You want to ensure that only one pod is updated at a time, but you need to guarantee that the database service remains available throughout tne update process. How would you configure the Deployment to achieve this?
Question #4
You are developing a microservices application and want to deploy it to Kubernetes using Helm. You have two services: 'user-service and 'order-service. The 'order-service depends on the "user-service'. How would you use Helm to manage these deployments, ensuring that the 'order- service' only starts after the 'user-service' is successfully deployed and running?
Question #5
You are deploying a resource-intensive application that requires a large amount of memory and CPU. How would you create a ResourceQuota to limit the resources consumed by this application and prevent it from impacting other workloads in the cluster?
