Objective 3.5XK0-005

3.5 Summarize 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.

3-5Scripting, Containers, and AutomationEasy

In Kubernetes, what is the smallest deployable unit you can create and manage?

A containerA container runs inside a Pod; Kubernetes manages Pods, not containers directly.
A PodCorrect · your answerCorrect: the Pod, not the container, is what gets scheduled.
A nodeA node is a worker machine that hosts Pods, not the smallest deployable unit.
A ServiceA Service exposes Pods on the network and is not a deployable compute unit.

Correct.

Concept

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.

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.

Sample question 1 of 3

3-5Scripting, Containers, and AutomationModerate

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

3-5Scripting, Containers, and AutomationHard

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

3-5Scripting, Containers, and AutomationModerate

An administrator's container in a Deployment crashes overnight and is replaced automatically without anyone paged. Which behavior provides this?
