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
✓
Set 'termination: reencrypt' in the spec.tls section
Re-encryption requires a termination configuration that specifies the certificate for the route and potentially the certificate for the destination service.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable 'insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy: Allow'
Why it's wrong here
This controls HTTP to HTTPS redirects, not re-encryption.
- ✗
Configure a ServiceMesh resource
Why it's wrong here
While ServiceMesh can handle this, it is not the standard Route-based configuration.
- ✓
Set 'termination: reencrypt' in the spec.tls section
Why this is correct
This enables re-encryption termination mode.
- ✗
Set 'termination: edge' and add a proxy
Why it's wrong here
Edge termination does not re-encrypt the traffic to the destination.
