XK0-005 CompTIA Exam Lab Questions

The command that the administrator should run to ensure that both Java 7 and Java 8 are locally available for developers to use when deploying containers is docker image pull java:7. This command will use the docker image pull subcommand to download the java:7 image from Docker Hub, which is the default registry for Docker images. The java:7 image contains Java 7 installed on a Debian-based Linux system. The administrator can also specify a different registry by using the syntax registry/repository:tag.

The other options are not correct commands for ensuring that both Java 7 and Java 8 are locally available for developers to use when deploying containers. The docker image load java:7 command will load an image from a tar archive or STDIN, not from a registry. The docker image import java:7 command will create a new filesystem image from the contents of a tarball, not from a registry. The docker image build java:7 command will build an image from a Dockerfile, not from a registry. References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 18: Automating Tasks; docker image pull | Docker Docs

To allow the same Kubernetes container configurations to be deployed in different environments without statically configuring custom locations, the engineer can use an ambassador container (D). An ambassador container is a proxy container that handles communication between containers and external services. It can dynamically configure locations based on environment variables or other methods. The other options are not related to this requirement. References:

• [CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide], Chapter 11: Working with Containers, Section: Using Ambassador Containers
• [How to Use Ambassador Containers]

This option declares an explicit dependency between the Docker service and the docker-repository.mount unit. It means that the Docker service will not start unless the docker-repository.mount unit is successfully activated. This ensures that the volume is mounted before the Docker service tries to use it12.

The best tool to use when uploading the public key to the remote servers is B. ssh-copy-id. This tool will copy the public key from the local computer to the remote server and append it to the authorized_keys file, which is used for public key authentication. This tool will also create the necessary directories and files on the remote server if they do not exist. The other tools are either not suitable or not relevant for this task. For example:

• A. scp is a tool for securely copying files between hosts, but it does not automatically add the public key to the authorized_keys file.
• C. ssh-agent is a tool for managing private keys and passphrases, but it does not upload the public key to the remote server.
• D. ssh-keyscan is a tool for collecting public keys from remote hosts, but it does not upload the public key to the remote server.
