Get Certified: Proven Methods to Pass the Docker DCA Exam

Image role-based access control is not a function of UCP. UCP has its own built-in authentication mechanism and integrates with LDAP services. It also has role-based access control (RBAC), so that you can control who can access and make changes to your cluster and applications1. However, image role-based access control is a feature of Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), which integrates with UCP and allows you to manage the images you use for your applications2. DTR lets you define granular permissions for images, such as who can push, pull, delete, or scan them3. References: Universal Control Plane overview), Docker Trusted Registry overview), Docker Access Control)

= The conditions are not sufficient for Kubernetes to dynamically provision a persistentVolume, because they are missing a StorageClass object. A StorageClass object defines which provisioner should be used and what parameters should be passed to that provisioner when dynamic provisioning is invoked. A persistentVolumeClaim must specify the name of a StorageClass in its storageClassName field to request a dynamically provisioned persistentVolume. Without a StorageClass, Kubernetes cannot determine how to provision the storage for the claim. References:

= Setting and exporting the IGNORE_TLS environment variable on the command line is not a way to configure the Docker engine to use a registry without a trusted TLS certificate. This environment variable is not recognized by Docker and has no effect on the TLS verification process1. To use a registry without a trusted TLS certificate, you need to either add the certificate to the system or Docker-specific trust store, or configure the Docker daemon to allow insecure registries23. References:

= The ‘docker inspect’ command returns low-level information on Docker objects, such as containers, images, networks, etc1 It does not show the list of historical tasks for a service. To view the list of tasks for a service, you need to use the ‘docker service ps’ command 2. For example, to see the tasks for the ‘http’ service, you would run ‘docker service ps http’. This would show the ID, name, image, node, desired state, current state, and error of each task 2. References: Docker inspect | Docker Docs, Docker service ps | Docker Docs

The command ‘docker ps http’ is not the correct command to view the list of historical tasks for a service in Docker1. The ‘docker ps’ command is used to list containers1. If you want to view the list of historical tasks for a service, you should use the ‘docker service ps’ command2. This command lists the tasks that are running as part of the specified services and also shows the task history2. Therefore, to view the list of historical tasks for the ‘http’ service, you should use the command 'docker service ps http’2.

 SELinux could be blocking the operation of setting the system time from inside a Docker container. SELinux is a security mechanism that enforces mandatory access control (MAC) policies on Linux systems. It restricts the actions that processes can perform based on their security contexts, such as user, role, type, and level. By default, SELinux prevents Docker containers from accessing or modifying the host’s system time, as this could pose a security risk or cause inconsistency. To allow Docker containers to set the system time, SELinux needs to be configured with the appropriate permissions or labels, or disabled altogether. However, this is not recommended, as it could compromise the security and stability of the system. References:

They provide granular control over where pods (or in this case, containers) are scheduled, based on the labels of the nodes1. In the context of Docker Swarm, this means that you could use node affinities to ensure that development and production containers are scheduled on separate nodes, thus meeting the company’s security policy requirements12345.

= The strategy of creating a PersistentVolume with hostPath and a PersistentVolumeClaim to mount the /data directory on your laptop into a container will not work, because hostPath volumes are only suitable for single node testing or development. They are not portable across nodes and do not support dynamic provisioning. If you want to mount a local directory from your laptop into a Kubernetes pod, you need to use a different type of volume, such as NFS, hostPath CSI, or minikube. Alternatively, you can copy the files from your laptop to the container using kubectl cp command. References:

= The command docker network create -d overlay --secure  will not ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted. The --secure option is not a valid flag for the docker network create command1. To enable encryption for an overlay network, you need to use the --opt encrypted flag instead23. This will create IPSEC tunnels between the nodes where the service tasks are scheduled, using the AES algorithm in GCM mode2. You can verify if an overlay network is encrypted by checking if the IPSEC tunnels were created using tools like netstat4. References:
