Focusing on manual processes.

Increasing the number of tasks completed.

Ensuring high-quality coding standards.

2. Which of the following strategies should a team prioritize to enhance platform efficiency?

Encourage teams to handle all platform tools independently without guidance.

Implement manual updates for all cluster configurations.

Automate the version bump process (or cluster updates).

Conduct weekly meetings to discuss every minor update.

3. In a multi-cluster Kubernetes setup, which approach effectively manages the deployment of multiple interdependent applications together as a unit?

Employing a declarative application deployment definition.

Creating separate Git repositories per application.

Direct deployments from CI/CD with Git configuration.

Using Helm for application packaging with manual deployments.

4. In the context of platform engineering and the effective delivery of platform software, which of the following statements describes the role of CI/CD pipelines in relation to Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and security scanning?

SBOM generation and security scanning are particularly valuable for application software. While platform software may have different security considerations, these practices are highly beneficial within CI/CD pipelines for applications.

CI/CD pipelines should integrate SBOM generation and security scanning as automated steps within the build and test phases to ensure early detection of vulnerabilities and maintain a clear inventory of components.

CI/CD pipelines are designed to accelerate the delivery of platform software, and adding SBOM generation and security scanning would slow down the process, so these activities are better suited for periodic audits conducted outside of the pipeline.

CI/CD pipelines are primarily for automating deployments; SBOM generation and security scanning are separate, manual processes performed after deployment.

5. A developer is struggling to access the necessary services on a cloud native platform due to complex Kubernetes configurations.

What approach can best simplify their access to platform capabilities?

Increase the number of required configurations to enhance security.

Implement a web portal that abstracts the Kubernetes complexities.

Limit user access to only a few services.

Provide detailed documentation on Kubernetes configurations.

6. A developer is tasked with securing a Kubernetes cluster and needs to implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage user permissions.

Which of the following statements about RBAC in Kubernetes is correct?

RBAC does not support namespace isolation and applies globally across the cluster.

RBAC allows users to have unrestricted roles and access to all resources in the cluster.

RBAC is only applicable to Pods and does not extend to other Kubernetes resources.

RBAC uses roles and role bindings to grant permissions to users for specific resources and actions.

7. Why is centralized configuration management important in a multi-cluster GitOps setup?

It requires all clusters to have the exact same configuration, including secrets and environment variables, to maintain uniformity.

It ensures consistent and auditable management of configurations and policies across clusters from a single Git repository or set of coordinated repositories.

It eliminates the need for automated deployment tools like Argo CD or Flux since configurations are already stored centrally.

It makes it impossible for different teams to customize configurations for specific clusters, reducing flexibility.

8. A platform team is implementing an API-driven approach to enable development teams to consume platform capabilities more effectively.

Which of the following examples best illustrates this approach?

Providing a documented process for developers to submit feature requests for the platform.

Developing a dashboard that visualizes platform usage statistics without exposing any APIs.

Allowing developers to request and manage development environments on demand through an internal tool.

Implementing a CI/CD pipeline that automatically deploys updates to the platform based on developer requests.

9. In a Kubernetes environment, which component is responsible for watching the state of resources during the reconciliation process?

Kubernetes Scheduler

Kubernetes Dashboard

Kubernetes API Server

Kubernetes Controller

10. To simplify service consumption for development teams on a Kubernetes platform, which approach combines service discovery with an abstraction of underlying infrastructure details?

Manual service dependencies configuration within application code.

Shared service connection strings and network configurations document.

Direct Kubernetes API access with detailed documentation.

Service catalog with abstracted APIs and automated service registration.

11. A team wants to deploy a new feature to production for internal users only and be able to instantly

disable it if problems occur, without redeploying code.

Which strategy is most suitable?

Use a blue/green deployment to direct internal users to one version and switch as needed.

Use feature flags to release the feature to selected users and control its availability through settings.

Use a canary deployment to gradually expose the feature to a small group of random users.

Deploy the feature to all users and prepare to roll it back manually if an issue is detected.

12. In the context of observability, which telemetry signal is primarily used to record events that occur within a system and are timestamped?

Logs

Alerts

Traces

Metrics

13. In assessing the effectiveness of platform engineering initiatives, which DORA metric most directly correlates to the time it takes for code from its initial commit to be deployed into production?

Lead Time for Changes

Deployment Frequency

Mean Time to Recovery

Change Failure Rate

14. In the context of observability for cloud native platforms, which of the following best describes the role of OpenTelemetry?

OpenTelemetry is primarily used for logging data only.

OpenTelemetry is a proprietary solution that limits its use to specific cloud providers.

OpenTelemetry provides a standardized way to collect and transmit observability data.

OpenTelemetry is solely focused on infrastructure monitoring.

15. A company is implementing a service mesh for secure service-to-service communication in their cloud native environment.

What is the primary benefit of using mutual TLS (mTLS) within this context?

Allows services to authenticate each other and secure data in transit.

Allows services to bypass security checks for better performance.

Enables logging of all service communications for audit purposes.

Simplifies the deployment of microservices by automatically scaling them.

16. What is the primary purpose of using multiple environments (e.g., development, staging, production) in a cloud native platform?

Isolates different stages of application development and deployment

Reduces cloud costs by running applications in different locations.

Increases application performance by distributing traffic.

Ensures all applications use the same infrastructure.

17. As a Cloud Native Platform Associate, you need to implement an observability strategy for your Kubernetes clusters.

Which of the following tools is most commonly used for collecting and monitoring metrics in cloud native environments?

Grafana

ELK Stack

OpenTelemetry

Prometheus

18. Which platform component enables one-click provisioning of sandbox environments, including both infrastructure and application code?

CI/CD pipeline

Service mesh

Service bus

Observability pipeline

19. Development teams frequently raise support tickets for short-term access to staging clusters, creating a growing burden on the platform team.

What's the best long-term solution to balance control, efficiency, and developer experience?

Use GitOps to manage RBAC roles and allow teams to request access via pull requests with automatic approval for non-sensitive environments.

Dedicate one Cloud Native Platform Engineer to triage and fulfill all access requests to maintain fast turnaround times.

Set up scheduled access windows and batch all requests into specific time slots managed by the platform team.

Provide pre-approved kubeconfigs to trusted developers so they can access staging clusters without platform intervention.

20. In a GitOps approach, how should the desired state of a system be managed and integrated?

By storing it in Git, and manually pushing updates through CI/CD pipelines.

As custom Kubernetes resources, stored and applied directly to the system.

By using a centralized management tool to push changes immediately to all environments.

By storing it so it is versioned and immutable, and pulled automatically into the system.
