You must complete this task on the following cluster/nodes: Cluster: immutable-cluster Master node: master1 Worker node: worker1 You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command: [desk@cli] $ kubectl config use-context immutable-cluster Context: It is best practice to design containers to be stateless and immutable. Task: Inspect Pods running in namespace prod and delete any Pod that is either not stateless or not immutable. Use the following strict interpretation of stateless and immutable: 1. Pods being able to store data inside containers must be treated as not stateless. Note: You don't have to worry whether data is actually stored inside containers or not already. 2. Pods being configured to be privileged in any way must be treated as potentially not stateless or not immutable.

Context A container image scanner is set up on the cluster, but it's not yet fully integrated into the cluster s configuration.

Question 32 - CKS discussion

You must complete this task on the following cluster/nodes:

Cluster: trace

Master node: master

Worker node: worker1

You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command:

[desk@cli] $ kubectl config use-context trace

Given: You may use Sysdig or Falco documentation.

Task:

Use detection tools to detect anomalies like processes spawning and executing something weird frequently in the single container belonging to Pod tomcat.

Two tools are available to use:

1. falco

2. sysdig

Tools are pre-installed on the worker1 node only.

Analyse the container’s behaviour for at least 40 seconds, using filters that detect newly spawning and executing processes.

Store an incident file at /home/cert_masters/report, in the following format:

[timestamp],[uid],[processName]

Note: Make sure to store incident file on the cluster's worker node, don't move it to master node.
