Authentic CompTIA Certification Exam XK0-005 Questions Answers

To apply changes to a systemd service unit file, the administrator needs to reload the systemd daemon using the command systemct1 daemon-reload (B). This will make systemd aware of the new or changed unit files. The other commands will not reload the systemd daemon or apply the changes. References:

"A service mesh controls the delivery of service requests in an application. Common features provided by a service mesh include service discovery, load balancing, encryption and failure recovery."

The technology that provides load balancing, encryption, and observability in containerized environments is service mesh. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that manages the communication and security between microservices in a distributed system. A service mesh consists of two components: a data plane and a control plane. The data plane is composed of proxies that are deployed alongside the microservices as sidecar pods. The proxies handle the network traffic between the microservices and provide features such as load balancing, encryption, authentication, authorization, routing, and observability. The control plane is responsible for configuring and managing the data plane and providing a unified interface for the administrators and developers. A service mesh can help improve the performance, reliability, and security of containerized applications and simplify the development and deployment process. A service mesh is the technology that provides load balancing, encryption, and observability in containerized environments. This is the correct answer to the question. The other options are incorrect because they either do not provide all the features of a service mesh (virtual private network or overlay network) or are not a technology but a component of a service mesh (sidecar pod). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 574.

mtr (My Traceroute) is a network diagnostic tool that combines the functionality of traceroute and ping. It shows real-time packet loss and latency on a hop-by-hop basis. The -T option uses TCP instead of ICMP, and the -P 443 option specifies the remote port. This provides the best method for checking packet loss on port 443.
