Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Gradual traffic shifting between application versions.
Why this is correct
This minimizes risk by exposing only a subset of users.
- ✗
Manually logging into pods to check health.
Why it's wrong here
This is a manual debugging task.
- ✓
Automated rollback based on custom metrics.
Why this is correct
This is a core component of progressive delivery.
- ✗
Immediate deployment of all changes to the entire cluster.
Why it's wrong here
This is a standard deployment, not progressive.
- ✗
Removing all health checks from the application.
Why it's wrong here
Health checks are mandatory for progressive delivery.
Quick reference
AAA Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Port(s) | Encryption | Transport | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RADIUS | 1812 / 1813 | Password only | UDP | Network access control |
| TACACS+ | 49 | Full packet | TCP | Device administration |
| Diameter | 3868 | Full session | TCP / SCTP | Carrier / mobile networks |
| 802.1X | — | EAP-based | Layer 2 | Port-based access control |
TACACS+ encrypts the entire packet; RADIUS only encrypts the password field — a key exam distinction.
