A cluster has multiple namespaces: 'frontend', 'backend', and 'monitoring'. A pod in the 'frontend' namespace needs to reach a Service named 'db-service' in the 'backend' namespace. The 'db-service' Service is of type ClusterIP. Which DNS name should the pod use?
2A pod is running with the default DNS policy. The cluster DNS service is at 10.96.0.10. The node's /etc/resolv.conf has nameserver 8.8.8.8. When the pod tries to resolve an external hostname like 'example.com', which DNS server will it query first?
3An administrator notices that traffic to a Service is not being forwarded to any pod. The Service has selector 'app: web' and there are pods with that label. However, 'kubectl get endpoints' shows no endpoints. What is the most likely cause?
4A company wants to expose a web application running as a Deployment with 3 replicas to external users. They need a stable IP address that does not change and the ability to terminate TLS. Which resource should they use?
5A Kubernetes cluster uses a NetworkPolicy to restrict traffic to a set of pods labeled 'app: db'. Which TWO statements about the following NetworkPolicy are correct? apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: db-policy spec: podSelector: matchLabels: app: db policyTypes: - Ingress ingress: - from: - podSelector: matchLabels: app: api ports: - port: 5432
6Given the following YAML manifests in the same namespace: ```yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: my-pod labels: app: my-app spec: containers: - name: app image: nginx ports: - containerPort: 8080 --- apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: my-service spec: selector: app: my-app ports: - port: 80 targetPort: 8080 ``` A pod in the same namespace tries to reach my-service on port 80. What is the most likely outcome?
