EX280 Networking And Network Policies Practice Question
An administrator needs to expose an internal application running on port 8080 via an OpenShift Route using edge termination. Which object configuration correctly defines this Route?
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
✓
kind: Route metadata: name: my-app spec: to: kind: Service name: my-service port: targetPort: 8080 tls: termination: edge
An edge terminated route requires the TLS configuration block with termination set to edge, while the target port references the container port 8080.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
kind: Route metadata: name: my-app spec: to: kind: Service name: my-service port: targetPort: 8080 tls: termination: edge
Why this is correct
This correctly specifies edge termination and maps to the service and target port.
- ✗
kind: Route metadata: name: my-app spec: to: kind: Service name: my-service port: targetPort: 8080 tls: termination: passthrough
Why it's wrong here
Passthrough termination does not decrypt traffic at the router, which is incorrect for edge termination.
- ✗
kind: Route metadata: name: my-app spec: to: kind: Service name: my-service port: targetPort: 8080
Why it's wrong here
Omitting the TLS block results in an insecure HTTP route, not a secure edge-terminated route.
- ✗
kind: Route metadata: name: my-app spec: to: kind: Service name: my-service port: targetPort: 8080 tls: termination: reencrypt
Why it's wrong here
Re-encrypt termination requires a destination CA certificate, which is missing here.
