Start Key Value Store PracticeWhich TWO of the following are valid ways to interact with the Consul KV store?
Explanation: The HTTP API and the CLI are the two primary supported interfaces for KV interactions.
You need to ensure that a value written to the KV store is persisted to disk on a majority of Consul servers before returning. Which parameter affects this?
Explanation: Consul's raft protocol handles consistency; writes are only acknowledged after a quorum of servers commits the change to their log. No special parameter is needed as this is default behavior for writes. However, among the choices, understanding that KV writes are Raft-based operations is key.
When using the Consul KV store, what is the maximum size allowed for a single value in a key?
Explanation: Consul enforces a hard limit of 512 KB per KV entry value.
An application is using Consul KV to store configuration. You notice that the KV store is becoming large. What is the most efficient way to retrieve only the keys under the prefix "service/web/"?
Explanation: The recurse parameter allows the KV API to return all keys with a matching prefix, rather than just the single key specified.
Which Consul API endpoint is used to create a new session that can be used for locking KV keys?
