Objective 3.5
XK0-005Summarize container, cloud, and orchestration concepts.
Objective 3.5 sits in Scripting, Containers, and Automation, which carries 19% of the Linux+ exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the CompTIA page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
In Kubernetes, what is the smallest deployable unit you can create and manage?
Correct.
Checked against kubernetes.io, August 2026Concept
An orchestrator schedules a base unit of compute, and that unit wraps the container rather than being the container itself.
Why B
A Pod is the smallest deployable unit of computing you can create and manage in Kubernetes.
Source
Kubernetes documentation, Pods, checked August 2026A Pod is the smallest deployable unit of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes. Kubernetes manages Pods rather than managing the containers directly.
Now you: objective 3.5 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
An administrator has two tightly coupled containers in the same Pod that must talk to each other over the network. How do they reach each other?
Sample question 2 of 3
An administrator finds frontend Pods keep losing track of backend Pods whose IPs change as they are recreated. Which object gives a stable address for that backend set?
Sample question 3 of 3
An administrator's container in a Deployment crashes overnight and is replaced automatically without anyone paged. Which behavior provides this?

Read the sources
These are the official pages the questions above cite. Reading them is studying the objective from the primary source, which is what the explanations point you toward anyway.
