Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
root-container-v1
Why it's wrong here
root-container-v1 is a fictitious SCC and does not exist in OpenShift.
- ✗
custom-app-scc
Why it's wrong here
custom-app-scc is not a built-in OpenShift SCC; it is an arbitrary user-created name.
- ✓
nonroot
Why this is correct
The nonroot SCC ensures pods run as a non-root UID without restricting capabilities as heavily as restricted.
- ✓
restricted-v2
Why this is correct
restricted-v2 is the primary default secure SCC for standard workloads in OpenShift 4.14+.
- ✓
privileged
Why this is correct
The privileged SCC grants full root-equivalent access to pods.
