Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Analyzing cloud audit log events to track API activity and user actions (event RQL).
Why this is correct
Event RQL inspects ingested cloud audit logs for security insights.
- ✓
Querying cloud resource configurations to detect security misconfigurations (config RQL).
Why this is correct
Config RQL evaluates resource configuration metadata against security rules.
- ✓
Inspecting network traffic metadata and flow logs to identify connection patterns and anomalies (network RQL).
Why this is correct
Network RQL analyzes VPC flow logs for traffic evaluation.
- ✗
Automatically recompiling vulnerable C++ source code in GitHub repositories.
Why it's wrong here
RQL is a query language for posture data, not a compiler or source code rewriter.
- ✗
Provisioning new Kubernetes clusters across multi-cloud environments via direct CLI execution.
Why it's wrong here
RQL is used for querying and threat hunting, not provisioning cloud infrastructure.
