ISC Infrastructure And System Security Practice Question

An organization is deploying Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). To enforce organizational compliance, they must restrict which container images can be deployed. What is the most effective approach?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Use the Azure Policy add-on for Kubernetes to enforce an 'Allowed Container Images' policy.

Azure Policy for Kubernetes provides built-in policies to restrict container image registries and enforce image tagging, ensuring only trusted images are deployed.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Assign RBAC roles to all developers to prevent image pull actions.

    Why it's wrong here

    This prevents pulling, but does not enforce image source compliance.

  • Modify the Kubelet configuration files directly on the nodes.

    Why it's wrong here

    Kubelet configuration cannot be used to restrict image source at the cluster level.

  • Configure the Azure CLI to deny access to unauthorized ACR registries.

    Why it's wrong here

    This is a client-side control and does not prevent the deployment via K8s APIs.

  • Use the Azure Policy add-on for Kubernetes to enforce an 'Allowed Container Images' policy.

    Why this is correct

    This acts as an admission controller to block non-compliant deployments.
