Docker DCA Docker Certified Associate (DCA) Exam Exam Practice Test

 The solution will not work because a hostPath volume mounts a file or directory from the host node’s filesystem into the pod, not from the laptop1. The host node is the VM or machine where the pod is scheduled to run, not the machine where the kubectl commands are executed. Therefore, the /data directory on the laptop will not be accessible to the pod unless it is also present on the host node. A better solution would be to use a persistent volume that can be accessed from any node in the cluster, such as NFS, AWS EBS, or Azure Disk2. References:

2: Persistent Volumes | Kubernetes

The strategy will not successfully accomplish mounting the /data directory on your laptop into a container. The containers. Mounts. hostBinding: /data is not a valid syntax for specifying a bind mount in a Kubernetes container specification. According to the Kubernetes documentation), the correct way to mount a host directory into a container is to use a hostPath volume, which takes a path parameter that specifies the location on the host. For example, to mount the /data directory on your laptop into a container at /var/data, you can use the following YAML snippet:

spec:

containers:

-name:my-container

image:my-image

volumeMounts:

-name:data-volume

mountPath:/var/data

volumes:

-name:data-volume

hostPath:

path:/data

= The command docker run -add-volume /data /mydata -read-only ubuntu will not mount the host’s /data directory to the ubuntu container in read-only mode. The reason is that the command has several syntax errors and invalid options. The correct command to mount a host directory to a container in read-only mode is docker run --mount type=bind,source=/data,target=/mydata,readonly ubuntu12. The command docker run -add-volume /data /mydata -read-only ubuntu has the following problems:

The option -add-volume is not a valid option for docker run. The valid options for mounting a volume or a bind mount are --mount or -v12.

The option -read-only is not a valid option for docker run. The valid option for making the container’s root filesystem read-only is --read-only3. However, this option will not affect the mounted volumes or bind mounts, which have their own readonly option12.

The argument /data /mydata is not a valid argument for docker run. The argument for docker run should be the command to run inside the container, such as bash or ping4. The source and target of the volume or bind mount should be specified in the --mount or -v option, separated by a colon12.

Therefore, the command docker run -add-volume /data /mydata -read-only ubuntu will not work as intended, and will likely produce an error message or an unexpected result. References:

 A liveness probe is a mechanism for indicating your application’s internal health to the Kubernetes control plane. Kubernetes uses liveness probes to detect issues within your pods. When a liveness check fails, Kubernetes restarts the container in an attempt to restore your service to an operational state1. Therefore, the action taken by the orchestrator to fix the unhealthy container is to restart it. References:

= The command docker logs  will not configure a Docker container to export container logs to the logging solution. This command is used to fetch the logs of a container from the Docker daemon, not to send them to an external service1. To export container logs to a logging solution, such as Splunk, you need to use a Docker logging driver2. A logging driver is a way of plugging into the Docker engine to forward logs to a specific destination2. Docker supports several built-in logging drivers, including one for Splunk3. To use the Splunk logging driver, you need to specify the --log-driver splunk option when running a container, and provide some additional options, such as the Splunk HTTP Event Collector token and URL3. Alternatively, you can configure the Splunk logging driver as the default logging driver for the Docker daemon by editing the daemon.json file4. References:

= Mirroring the engineering/api repository to one of the user’s own private repositories will not grant them read/write access to the original repository. Mirroring is a feature that allows users to automatically sync images from one repository to another, either within the same DTR or across different DTRs. Mirroring does not affect the permissions or roles of the users or teams associated with the source or destination repositories. To grant a user read/write access to the engineering/api repository, the user needs to be added to a team that has the appropriate role for that repository, or the repository needs to be configured with the appropriate visibility and access settings. References:

Docker’s bridge network allows containers connected to the same bridge network to communicate, while providing isolation from containers that aren’t connected to that bridge network1.By using thenetwork attachcommand, you can connect a container to the bridge network, making it reachable from the host’s network12.However, it’s important to note that containers on the default bridge network can only access each other by IP addresses, unless you use the--linkoption, which is considered legacy2.For better isolation and automatic DNS resolution between containers, it’s recommended to use user-defined bridge networks12.

= A persistentVolumeClaim (PVC) is a request for storage by a user. It is similar to a Pod. Pods consume node resources and PVCs consume PV resources1. A PVC can specify a storage class, which is a way of requesting a certain quality of service for the volume2. If the storage class is empty, it means the PVC does not have any specific storage class requirements and can be bound to any PV that satisfies its size and access mode3. However, if there is no existing PV that matches the PVC’s requirements, the PVC remains unbound until a suitable PV becomes available. This can happen either by manual provisioning by an administrator or by dynamic provisioning using StorageClasses1. References:

 The command docker network create -d overlay -o encrypted=true  will ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted. This command creates an overlay network with the encryption option enabled, which means that Docker will create IPSEC tunnels between all the nodes where tasks are scheduled for services attached to the overlay network. These tunnels use the AES algorithm in GCM mode and manager nodes automatically rotate the keys every 12 hours1. This way, thedata exchanged between containers on different nodes on the overlay network is secured. References:

The set of commands docker container inspect and docker port cannot identify the published port(s) for a container. The docker container inspect command returns low-level information on a container, such as its ID, name, state, network settings, mounts, etc1. However, it does not show the port mappings between the container and the host2. The docker port command lists the port mappings or a specific mapping for a container, but it requires the container name or ID as an argument3. Therefore, to identify the published port(s) for a container, you need to use both commands together, such as docker port $(docker container inspect -f '{{.Name}}' CONTAINER)4. References:

= Keeping a backup copy of the image on another repository is not how a user can prevent an image, such as ‘nginx:latest’, from being overwritten by another user with push access to the repository. This approach does not prevent the original image from being overwritten, it only provides a way to restore it from another source. However, this may not be reliable or efficient, as the backup repository may not be in sync with the original one, or may not be accessible at all times. To prevent an image from being overwritten by another user, the user can use the DTR web UI to make the tag immutable1. This feature allows the user to lock a specific tag, so that no one can push a new image with the same tag to the repository. This ensures that the image is always consistent and secure1. References:

Make a tag immutable | Docker Docs

 The command kubectl gel pods --all-namespaces -l 'env in (development)' does not display all the pods in the cluster that are labeled as env: development. The command has two typos that prevent it from working correctly. First, the verb should be get instead of gel. Second, the label selector flag should be -l instead of -I1. The correct command should be kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l 'env in (development)', which will list all the pods across all namespaces that have a label env with a value development2. References:

Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) has its own built-in authentication mechanism and integrates with LDAP services1.It also has role-based access control (RBAC), so that you can control who can access and make changes to your cluster and applications1.However, there is no mention of Docker ID being a supported user authentication method for UCP in the resources provided1234.

Tagging the image with ‘nginx:immutable’ is not how a user can prevent an image, such as ‘nginx:latest’, from being overwritten by another user with push access to the repository.Tagging the image with ‘nginx:immutable’ will only create a new tag for the image, but it will not prevent the original tag from being overwritten. To prevent an image tag from being overwritten in Docker Trusted Registry, the user can use the DTR web UI to make the tag immutable1. This will prevent anyone from pushing a new image with the same tag, even if they have push access to the repository1. Alternatively, the user can also use the DTR API to make the tag immutable2. References: Prevent tags from being overwritten), DTR API reference)

The command docker run -v /data:/mydata -mode readonly ubuntu will not mount the host’s /data1 directory to the ubuntu container in read-only mode. The commandhas several errors that prevent it from working correctly. First, the host directory should be /data1 instead of /data, as specified in the question. Second, the option flag should be --mode instead of -mode, and it should be placed before the image name. Third, the mode value should be ro instead of readonly, as per the Docker documentation1. The correct command should be docker run -v /data1:/mydata --mode ro ubuntu, which will mount the host’s /data1 directory as a read-only volume at /mydata inside the container1. References:

docker run | Docker Docs

   = Using network connect to access the container on the bridge network does not accomplish creating a container that is reachable from its host’s network. The network connect command connects a container to an existing network, but it does not expose the container’s ports to the host1. The bridge network is the default network that Docker creates for containers, and it provides isolation from the host network2. To create a container that is reachable from its host’s network, you need to use the host network driver, which disables network isolation and uses the host’s network stack directly3. Alternatively, you can use the port mapping feature to publish specific ports of the container to the host4. References:

docker network connect | Docker Docs

Bridge network driver | Docker Docs

Publish ports on the host | Docker Docs

= Creating images that contain the specific configuration for every environment is not a way to provision configuration to containers at runtime. This approach violates the principle of separating application code from configuration, and makes the images less portable and reusable across different environments1. It also increases the maintenance overhead and the risk of configuration drift, as any change in the configuration would require rebuilding and redeploying the images2. To provision configuration to containers at runtime, you should use a different mechanism, such as environment variables, command-line arguments, or config maps345. References:

 Multi-stage builds are a feature of Docker that allows you to use multiple FROM statements in your Dockerfile. Each FROM statement creates a new stage of the build, which can use a different base image and run different commands. You can then copy artifacts from one stage to another, leaving behind everything you don’t want in the final image. This optimizes the image size and reduces the attack surface by removing unnecessary dependencies and tools. For example, you can use a stage to compile your code, and then copy only the executable file to the final stage, which can use a minimal base image like scratch. This way, you don’t need to include the compiler or the source code in the final image. References:

Multi-stage builds | Docker Docs

Docker will block the command docker container run myorg/myimage:1.0 if the image tag myorg/myimage:1.0 is unsigned and the environment variable DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 is set. The reason is that setting DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1 enables Docker Content Trust (DCT), which is a feature that allows users to verify the integrity and publisher of Docker images using digital signatures1. When DCT is enabled, Docker will only pull, run, or build images that have valid signatures. If an image tag is unsigned or has an invalid signature, Docker will reject the operation and display an error message2. Therefore, to run an unsigned image with DCT enabled, you need to either disable DCT by setting DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=0 or use the --disable-content-trust flag, or sign the image tag with a valid key3. References:

Signing Images and Enabling Docker Content Trust

The networking drivers that allow you to enable multi-host network connectivity between containers are bridge, macvlan, ipvlan, and overlay. These drivers create networks that can span multiple Docker hosts, and therefore enable containers on different hosts to communicate with each other. The other drivers, such as host, user-defined, and none, create networks that are either isolated or limited to a single host. Here is a brief overview of each driver and how it supports multi-host networking:

•bridge: The bridge driver creates a network that connects containers on the same host using a Linux bridge. However, it can also be used to create a network that connects containers across multiple hosts using an external key-value store, such as Consul, Etcd, or ZooKeeper. This feature is deprecated and not recommended, as it requires manual configuration and has some limitations. The preferred driver for multi-host networking is overlay1.

•macvlan: The macvlan driver creates a network that assigns a MAC address to each container, making it appear as a physical device on the network. This allows the containers to communicate with other devices on the same network, regardless of the host they are running on. The macvlan driver can also use 802.1q trunking to create sub-interfaces and isolate traffic between different networks2.

•ipvlan: The ipvlan driver creates a network that assigns an IP address to each container, making it appear as a logical device on the network. This allows the containers to communicate with other devices on the same network, regardless of the host they are running on. The ipvlan driver can also use different modes, such as l2, l3, or l3s, to control the routing and isolation of traffic between different networks3.

•overlay: The overlay driver creates a network that connects multiple Docker daemons together using VXLAN tunnels. This allows the containers to communicate across different hosts, even if they are on different networks. The overlay driver also supports encryption, load balancing, and servicediscovery. The overlay driver is the default and recommended driver for multi-host networking, especially for Swarm services4.

The networkPolicy will block the traffic from a pod bearing the tier: backend label, to a pod bearing the tier: frontend label. The networkPolicy specifies that only pods with the tier: frontend label can access the pods with the app: guestbook-api and tier: backend labels on port 801. Any other traffic to the backend pods will be denied by default2. Therefore, a request issued from a pod bearing the tier: backend label, to a pod bearing the tier: frontend label will be blocked by the networkPolicy. References: Connect a Frontend to a Backend Using Services), Network Policies)

The command docker container logs nginx –volumes will not display a list of volumes for a specific container. The docker container logs command shows the logs of a container, which are usually the standard output and standard error of the main process running in thecontainer1. The –volumes flag is not a valid option for this command, and will result in an error message2. To display a list of volumes for a specific container, you can use the docker inspect command with a filter option, such as docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' nginx3. This will show the source, destination, mode, type, and propagation of each volumemounted in the container4. References: docker container logs, docker container logs nginx –volumes, docker inspect, docker inspect -f ‘{{ .Mounts }}’ nginx

 In the context of a swarm mode cluster, an instance of the Docker engine participating in the swarm is indeed a node1. A node can be either a manager or a worker, depending on the role assigned by the swarm manager2. A manager node handles the orchestration and management of the swarm, while a worker node executes the tasks assigned by the manager2. A node can join or leave a swarm at any time, and the swarm manager will reconcile the desired state of the cluster accordingly1. References:

= Setting and exporting the IGNORE_TLS environment variable on the command line is not a way to configure the Docker engine to use a registry without a trusted TLS certificate. This environment variable is not recognized by Docker and has no effect on the TLS verification process1. To use a registry without a trusted TLS certificate, you need to either add the certificate to the system or Docker-specific trust store, or configure the Docker daemon to allow insecure registries23. References:

 Deleting the image and the image repository from Docker Trusted Registry will not completely delete the image from disk. This is because deleting a repository or a tag only removes the reference to the image, but not the image itself. The image is still stored as a blob on the disk, and can be accessed by its digest1. To completely delete the image from disk, you need to enable the deletion feature in the registry configuration, and then use the API to delete the image by its manifest2. Alternatively, you can manually delete the image files from the registry storage directory, but this is not recommended3. After deleting the image, you also need to run the garbage collector to reclaim the disk space4. References:

= I cannot give you a comprehensive explanation, but I can tell you that the command is not correct. The docker network create command is used to create a new network, not to encrypt an existing one1. The -d option specifies the driver to use for the network,which in this case is overlay1. The overlay driver enables multi-host networking for swarm services2. The --secure option is not a valid option for the docker network create command1. To ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted, you need to use the --opt encrypted option2. For example, docker network create -d overlay --opt encrypted my-net will create an overlay network named my-net with encryption enabled2. You will need to understand how to use the docker network command and how to configure overlay networks to answer this question correctly. References:

 = Uninstalling the ‘docker-ce’ package before installing the ‘docker-ee’ package will not upgrade Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE. It will only remove the existing Docker Engine CE installation and install a new Docker Engine EE installation. This means that any existing containers, images, volumes, networks, and other Docker resources will be lost. To upgrade Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE without losing any data, youneed to use the migration tool provided by Docker1 or follow the steps described in the Docker documentation2 or other online guides34. References:

 Network is a type of Linux kernel namespace that provides container isolation. Network namespaces isolate the system resources associated with networking, such as network interfaces, IP addresses, routing tables, firewall rules, etc. Each network namespace has its own virtual network stack, and processes in different network namespaces can communicate through virtual network devices or tunnels1. Network namespaces are used by Docker to create isolated networks for containers, and allow users to customize the network configuration and connectivity of each container2. References:

The statement is not correct. A Dockerfile does not store the Docker daemon’s configuration options. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image1. A Dockerfile is used to build images, not to configure the Docker daemon. The Docker daemon’s configuration options are stored in a JSON file, which is usually located at /etc/docker/daemon.json on Linux systems, or C:\ProgramData\docker\config\daemon.json on Windows2. The JSON file allows you to customize the Docker daemon’s behavior, such as enabling debug mode, setting TLS certificates, or changing the data directory2. References: Dockerfile reference), Docker daemon configuration overview)

 The statement is not entirely correct. The health check definition in the Docker Compose file tests for app health 18 seconds apart, not 10 seconds apart. Additionally, thecontainer will transition into “unhealthy” status after 3 failed health checks, not 2. References:

I also noticed that you sent me an image with your message. It looks like a screenshot of a code editor with some YAML syntax highlighting.

Process ID is a type of Linux kernel namespace that provides container isolation. Linux namespaces are a feature of the Linux kernel that isolate and virtualize system resources of a collection of processes1. Process ID namespace isolates the process ID number space, meaning that processes in different PID namespaces can have the same PID2. This allows each container to have its own init process with PID 1, which is the ancestor of all other processes in the container3. Process ID namespace also affects other identifiers, such as thread IDs, parent process IDs, and session IDs4. References: Namespaces in operation), pid_namespaces), What is a PID namespace?, Linux Namespaces: PID)

= The sequence of steps will not completely delete an image from disk in the Docker Trusted Registry. Deleting the image and removing permissions to the repository will only remove the image from the registry’s user interface and prevent unauthorized access to it. However, the image data will still remain on the registry’s storage backend until garbage collection is performed1. Garbage collection is a process that removes unused blobs (layers) from the registry’s storage2. To run garbage collection, the registry must be stopped and the command bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml must be executed3. Alternatively, the registry can be configured to run garbage collection automatically at regular intervals4. References:

 = I cannot give you a comprehensive explanation, but I can tell you that the question is about Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), which is a secure and scalable image storagesolution for Docker Enterprise1. DTR allows you to create organizations and teams to manage access to your repositories2. Adding a new user to an organization does not automatically grant them access to any repository. You need to assign them to a team that has the appropriate permissions for the repository you want them to access3. Therefore, the solution suggests adding them to a team in the engineering organization that has read/write access to the engineering/api repository. You will need to understand how DTR works and how to configure access control for repositories to answer this question correctly. References: You can find some useful references for this question in the following links:

 x.500 is not a supported user authentication method for Universal Control Plane (UCP). UCP supports two types of user authentication methods: built-in and external1. Built-in authentication uses the UCP’s own database to store and verify user credentials. External authentication uses an external LDAP or Active Directory service to manage user accounts and passwords1. x.500 is a standard for directory services, which can be used by LDAP or Active Directory, but it is not a user authentication method by itself2. References:

User authentication | Docker Docs

X.500 - Wikipedia

= Linux capabilities are a way of restricting the privileges of a process or a container. By default, Docker containers run with a reduced set of capabilities, which means they cannot perform certain operations that require higher privileges, such as setting the system time1. To allow a container to set the system time, you need to grant it the SYS_TIME capability by using the --cap-add option when running the container2. For example, docker run --cap-add SYS_TIME alpine date -s 12:00 would set the system time to 12:00 inside the alpine container3. References: Docker Documentation, Runtime privilege and Linuxcapabilities, Change system date time in Docker containers without impacting host, Is it possible to change time dynamically in docker container?

= The command docker service create --network --secure will not ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted. This is because the --secure option is not a valid option for the docker service create command1. To ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted, you need to use the --opt encrypted option when creating the overlay network with the docker network create command2. For example, to create an encrypted overlay network named my-net, you can use the following command:

docker network create --driver overlay --opt encrypted my-net

Then, you can use the --network my-net option when creating the service with the docker service create command3. For example, to create a service named my-service using the nginx image and the my-net network, you can use the following command:

docker service create --name my-service --network my-net nginx

The set of commands docker container inspect and docker port can identify the published port(s) for a container. The docker container inspect command returns low-level information about a container, including its network settings and port bindings1. The docker port command lists port mappings or a specific mapping for the container2. Both commands can show which host port is mapped to which container port, and the protocol used. For example, docker container inspect -f '{{.NetworkSettings.Ports}}' container_name will show the port bindings for the container_name3. Similarly, docker port container_name will show the port mappings for the container_name. References:

 Label constraints can be used to schedule containers to meet the security policy requirements. Label constraints are a way to specify which nodes a service can run on based on the labels assigned to the nodes. Labels are key-value pairs that can be attached to any node in the swarm. For example, you can label nodes as development or production depending on their intended use. Then, you can use the --constraint option when creating or updating a service to filter the nodes based on their labels. For example, to run a service only on development nodes, you can use:

docker service create --constraint'node.labels.environment == development'...

To run a service only on production nodes, you can use:

docker service create --constraint'node.labels.environment == production'...

This way, you can ensure that development and production containers run on separate nodes in the swarm, as required by the security policy. References:

= The command docker run -v /data:/mydata --mode readonly ubuntu is not valid because it has some syntax errors. The correct syntax for running a container with a bind mount is docker run [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]. The errors in the command are:

The option flag for specifying the volume is --volume or -v, not -v. For example, -v /data:/mydata should be --volume /data:/mydata.

The option flag for specifying the mode of the volume is --mount, not --mode. For example, --mode readonly should be --mount type=bind,source=/data,target=/mydata,readonly.

The option flag for specifying the mode of the container is --detach or -d, not --mode. For example, --mode readonly should be --detach.

The correct command for running a container with a bind mount in read-only mode is:

docker run --volume /data:/mydata --mount type=bind,source=/data,target=/mydata,readonly --detach ubuntu

This command will run a container using the ubuntu image and mount the host’s /data directory to the container’s /mydata directory in read-only mode. The container will run in the background (--detach).

 docker run reference | Docker Documentation : [Use bind mounts | Docker Documentation]

To trust a self-signed certificate from a Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), you need to place the certificate in the appropriate location on all cluster nodes and restart the Docker daemon. There are two possible locations for the certificate, depending on your OS and Docker version1:

•/etc/docker/certs.d/dtr.example.com/ca.crt: This is the preferred location for Linux systems and Docker versions 1.13 and higher. This directory is scanned by Docker for certificates and keys for each registry domain2.

•Your OS certificate path: This is the fallback location for other OSes and Docker versions. You need to find the certificate store for your OS and copy the certificate there. You also need to trust the certificate system-wide, which may require additional steps depending on your OS3.

The other options are not correct because:

•Passing '-trust-certificate ca.crt to the Docker client is not a valid option. There is no such flag for the Docker client4.

•Placing the certificate in ‘/etc/docker/dtr/dtr.example.com.crt’ is not a valid location. The certificate should be in the /etc/docker/certs.d directory, not the /etc/docker/dtr directory1.

•Passing – insecure-registry to the Docker client is not a recommended option. This flag disables the TLS verification for the registry, which makes the communication insecure and vulnerable to attacks.

 The creation of a persistentVolumeClaim with a specified pre-defined provisioner is not sufficient for Kubernetes to dynamically provision a persistentVolume. There are otherfactors and configurations that need to be considered and set up, such as storage classes and the appropriate storage provisioner configurations. A persistentVolumeClaim is a request for storage by a user, which can be automatically bound to a suitable persistentVolume if one exists or dynamically provisioned if one does not exist1. A provisioner is a plugin that creates volumes on demand2. A pre-defined provisioner is a provisioner that is built-in or registered with Kubernetes, such as aws-ebs, gce-pd, azure-disk, etc3. However, simply specifying a pre-defined provisioner in a persistentVolumeClaim is not enough to trigger dynamic provisioning. You also need to have a storage class that defines the type of storage and the provisioner to use4. A storage class is a way of describing different classes or tiers of storage that are available in the cluster5. You can create a storage class with a pre-defined provisioner, or use a default storage class that is automatically created by the cluster6. You can also specify parameters for the provisioner, such as the type, size, zone, etc. of the volume to be created7. To use a storage class for dynamic provisioning, you need to reference it in the persistentVolumeClaim by name, or use the special value “” to use the default storage class. Therefore, to enable dynamic provisioning, you need to have both a persistentVolumeClaim that requests a storage class and a storage class that defines a provisioner. References:

I also noticed that you sent me two images along with your question. The first image shows the Kubernetes logo, which consists of seven spokes connected to a central hub, forming an almost circular shape. The logo is blue and placed on a white background. It’s encapsulated within a hexagonal border. The second image shows a diagram of the relationship between persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and pods in Kubernetes. It illustrates how a pod can use a persistent volume claim to request storage from a persistent volume, which can be either statically or dynamically provisioned. The diagram also shows how a storage class can be used to define the type and provisioner of the storage. I hope this helps you understand the concept of persistent storage in Kubernetes.????

= Docker will block this command if you configure the local Docker engine to enforce content trust by setting the environment variable DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1. This means that you can only pull, run, or build with trusted images that have been signed using Docker Content Trust (DCT)1. DCT is a feature that allows you to use digital signatures to verify the integrity and the publisher of specific image tags2. If myorg/myimage:1.0 is unsigned, it means that it does not have a valid signature from the image publisher or a trusted delegate. Therefore, Docker will not allow you to build an image from a Dockerfile that begins with FROM myorg/myimage:1.0, as it cannot verify the source or the content of the base image. You will get an error message like this:

No valid trust data for 1.0

To avoid this error, you need to either disable DCT by setting DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=0, or use a signed image tag as the base image in your Dockerfile3. References:

= The purpose of Docker Content Trust is to sign and verify image tags using digital signatures for data sent to and received from remote Docker registries12. This allows client-side or runtime verification of the integrity and publisher of specific image tags, ensuring the provenance and security of container images34. References:

= Seccomp is a Linux kernel feature that allows you to restrict the actions available within the container. By using a seccomp profile, you can limit the system calls that a container can make, thus enhancing its security and isolation. Docker has a default seccomp profile that blocks some potentially dangerous system calls, such as mount, reboot, or ptrace. You can also pass a custom seccomp profile for a container using the --security-opt option. Seccomp can limit a container’s access to host resources, such as CPU or memory, by blocking or filtering system calls that affect those resources, such as setpriority, sched_setaffinity, or mlock. References:

= The command docker logs  will not configure a Docker container to export container logs to the logging solution, such as Splunk. This command only displays the logs of a specific container in the standard output or a file, but does not send them to any external system1. To export container logs to Splunk, you need to use the Docker Logger Drivers, which are plugins that provide logging capabilities for Docker containers2. The Splunk logging driver sends container logs to HTTP Event Collector in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud3. To use the Splunk logging driver for a specific container, you need to use the command-line flags --log-driver and --log-opt with docker run, and provide the Splunk token and URL as options3. For example:

$ docker run --log-driver=splunk --log-opt splunk-token=VALUE --log-opt splunk-url=VALUE ...

 = The configuration will not achieve fault tolerance for managers in a swarm, because it does not have enough managers to form a quorum. A quorum is the minimum number of managers that must be available to agree on values and maintain the consistent state of the swarm. The quorum is calculated as (N/2)+1, where N is the number of managers in the swarm. For example, a swarm with 3 managers has a quorum of 2, and a swarm with 5 managers has a quorum of 3. Having only two managers, one active and one passive, means that the quorum is also 2. Therefore, if one manager fails or becomes unavailable, the swarm will lose the quorum and will not be able to process any requests or schedule any tasks. To achieve fault tolerance, a swarm should have an odd number of managers, at least 3, and no more than 7. This way, the swarm can tolerate the loss of up to (N-1)/2 managers and still maintain the quorum and the cluster state. References:

 The command docker service create -name dns-cache -p 53:53 -constraint networking.protocol.udp=true dns-cache will not create a swarm service that only listens on port 53 using the UDP protocol. This command has several syntax errors and invalid options. The correct syntax for creating a swarm service is docker service create [OPTIONS] IMAGE [COMMAND] [ARG...]1. The correct options for specifying the service name, port mapping, and network mode are --name, --publish, and --network respectively1. The option -constraint is not a valid option for the docker service create command. To create a swarm service that only listens on port 53 using the UDP protocol, you need to use the --publish option with the protocol=udp and mode=host parameters, and the --network option with the host value23. For example, the following command creates a global service using host mode and bypassing the routing mesh2:

docker service create --name dns-cache \

--publish published=53,target=53,protocol=udp,mode=host \

--mode global \

--network host \

= A Dockerfile does not store persistent data between deployments of a container. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains instructions for building a Docker image. A Docker image is a read-only template that defines the layers and configuration of a container. A Docker container is an isolated and ephemeral instance of a Docker image that runs on the Docker Engine. Docker containers are not meant to store persistent data, as any changes made to the container’s filesystem are lost when the container is removed. To store persistent data between deployments of a container, you need to use volumes or bind mounts. Volumes and bind mounts are ways to attach external storage to a container, so that the data is preserved even if the container is deleted. Volumes are managed by Docker and stored in a location on the host system that is independent of the container’s lifecycle. Bind mounts are files or directories on the host system that are mounted into a container. References:
