Docker DCA Exam - Topic 5 Question 108 Discussion

Actual exam question for Docker's DCA exam
Question #: 108
Topic #: 5
[All DCA Questions]

The Kubernetes yaml shown below describes a networkPolicy.

Will the networkPolicy BLOCK this trafftc?

Solution. a request issued from a pod bearing the tier: api label, to a pod bearing the tier: backend label

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The provided Kubernetes NetworkPolicy YAML configuration indicates that the policy applies to pods with the label tier: backend in the default namespace1. The ingress rule allows traffic from pods with the label tier: api1. Therefore, a request issued from a pod bearing the tier: api label to a pod bearing the tier: backend label will not be blocked by this networkPolicy1. This is because the networkPolicy explicitly allows ingress from pods with the tier: api label1. For more information on Kubernetes Network

Seems like it should allow the traffic.

From what I recall, if the policy doesn't explicitly allow traffic from the api tier to the backend tier, it should block it. But I could be wrong.

I'm a bit confused about how the labels interact in this case. Does the policy block traffic only if both labels are present?

I remember a similar question where we had to determine if a policy allowed or blocked traffic based on labels. I think it was about ingress rules.

I think the network policy is meant to restrict traffic, but I'm not entirely sure if it applies to all labels or just specific ones.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. The policy is allowing ingress traffic from pods with the 'tier: api' label to pods with the 'tier: backend' label. So the answer is no, it will not block that traffic.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The policy is clearly allowing the traffic from the 'api' tier to the 'backend' tier, so the answer should be no, it won't block that traffic.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. The policy is allowing that traffic, not blocking it, right? I'll need to double-check the Kubernetes documentation to make sure I understand this correctly.

I think the answer is B) No. The networkPolicy doesn't seem to have any rules that would block traffic from the 'api' pods to the 'backend' pods.

Hmm, this looks like a trick question. The networkPolicy description doesn't specify the direction of the traffic, so I'm not sure if it will block the traffic or not.

I think it might block the traffic because it specifies the source and destination pods.
