Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Docker containers are based on open standard________________________.

    • A.

      Allowing containers to run on all major Linux distributions only

    • B.

      Allowing containers to run on all Microsoft operating systems only

    • C.

      Allowing containers to run on all major Linux distributions and Microsoft operating systems

    Correct Answer
    C. Allowing containers to run on all major Linux distributions and Microsoft operating systems
    Explanation
    Docker containers are based on an open standard, which means that they can be run on all major Linux distributions and Microsoft operating systems. This open standard ensures compatibility and flexibility, allowing containers to be easily deployed and run across different platforms without any compatibility issues.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Containers running on a single machine all share the same operating system kernel, so they start instantly and make more efficient use of RAM.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Containers running on a single machine share the same operating system kernel, which allows them to start instantly and use RAM more efficiently. This is because containers do not require a separate operating system instance for each container, unlike virtual machines. Instead, they utilize the host machine's operating system, resulting in faster startup times and optimized resource utilization. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Each virtual machine includes the application, the necessary binaries and libraries, and an entire guest operating system - All of which may be tens of GBs in size.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because virtual machines are self-contained environments that include all the necessary components to run an application, including the application itself, binaries, libraries, and a guest operating system. These components can take up a significant amount of storage space, often totaling tens of gigabytes in size.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Containers include the application and all of its dependencies but share the kernel with other containers. They run as an isolated process in the userspace on the host operating system. They’re also not tied to any specific infrastructure – Docker containers run on any computer, on any infrastructure, and in any cloud.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Containers are a lightweight form of virtualization that includes the application and all its dependencies. They operate in isolation from other containers and run as isolated processes in userspace on the host operating system. Unlike traditional virtual machines, containers share the same kernel with other containers, making them more efficient and lightweight. Additionally, containers are platform-agnostic and can run on any computer, infrastructure, or cloud platform. Therefore, the statement that containers are not tied to any specific infrastructure and can run on any computer, infrastructure, and in any cloud is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    ________is a cloud-hosted service from Docker that provides registry capabilities for public and private content.

    • A.

      Docker Swarm

    • B.

      Docker Hub

    • C.

      Docker Cloud

    • D.

      Docker Compose

    Correct Answer
    B. Docker Hub
    Explanation
    Docker Hub is a cloud-hosted service from Docker that provides registry capabilities for public and private content. It allows users to store and share Docker images, making it easier to distribute and deploy containerized applications. With Docker Hub, developers can access a vast library of pre-built images and collaborate with others in the Docker community.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    ________is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

    • A.

      Docker Swarn

    • B.

      Docker Hub

    • C.

      Docker Cloud

    • D.

      Docker Compose

    Correct Answer
    D. Docker Compose
    Explanation
    Docker Compose is a tool used to define and run multi-container Docker applications. It allows users to define the services, networks, and volumes required for an application in a YAML file, and then use a single command to start and stop all the containers defined in the file. Docker Compose simplifies the process of managing and coordinating multiple containers, making it easier to deploy and scale complex applications.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ________is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual Docker host.

    • A.

      Docker Swarm

    • B.

      Docker Hub

    • C.

      Docker Cloud

    • D.

      Docker Compose

    Correct Answer
    A. Docker Swarm
    Explanation
    Docker Swarm is a native clustering solution for Docker that allows users to create and manage a swarm of Docker nodes, turning them into a single, virtual Docker host. This enables users to easily scale their applications across multiple Docker hosts, improving availability and performance. Docker Swarm provides features such as load balancing, service discovery, and fault tolerance, making it a powerful tool for managing and orchestrating containers in a distributed environment.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    ________is the enterprise-grade cluster management solution from Docker. It manages your whole cluster from a single place.

    • A.

      Docker Swarm

    • B.

      Docker Hub

    • C.

      Docker Universal Control Plane

    • D.

      Docker Compose

    Correct Answer
    C. Docker Universal Control Plane
    Explanation
    Docker Universal Control Plane is the correct answer because it is the enterprise-grade cluster management solution provided by Docker. It allows users to manage their entire cluster from a centralized location, providing a comprehensive solution for managing Docker containers and resources. Docker Swarm is a clustering and orchestration tool, Docker Hub is a cloud-based repository for Docker images, and Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. However, neither of these options fully matches the description of an enterprise-grade cluster management solution.
