350-701 Practice Question: A DevOps team is deploying microservices in Azure…
A DevOps team is deploying microservices in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). They need to enforce inter-container communication policies based on labels. Which Cisco solution provides micro-segmentation for containers in AKS?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between network-level micro-segmentation (ACI) and workload-level micro-segmentation (Secure Workload), so the trap here is assuming ACI can natively enforce Kubernetes label-based policies, when in fact Secure Workload is the only option that directly integrates with Kubernetes labels for container micro-segmentation in AKS.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cisco Secure Workload
Cisco Secure Workload (formerly Tetration) is the correct solution because it provides micro-segmentation for containers in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) by enforcing inter-container communication policies based on labels. It uses a Kubernetes-native approach, integrating with the Kubernetes API to discover pods and services, and applies label-based policies via eBPF or sidecar proxies to control traffic between containers without modifying the application.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cisco Firepower
Why it's wrong here
Firepower is a firewall, not designed for container policies.
- ✗
Cisco ACI
Why it's wrong here
ACI is a data center network fabric, not for containers.
- ✗
Cisco ISE
Why it's wrong here
ISE is for identity and access management, not container micro-segmentation.
- ✓
Cisco Secure Workload
Why this is correct
Secure Workload provides micro-segmentation and visibility for containers.
