[All C1000-130 Questions]

How can a new API Connect capability be installed in an air-gapped environ-ment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In an air-gapped environment, the OpenShift cluster does not have direct internet access, which means that new software images, such as IBM API Connect, must be manually mirrored from an external source.

The correct approach for installing a new API Connect capability in an air-gapped OpenShift environment is to:

Use a laptop or a bastion host that does have internet access to pull required container images from IBM's entitled software registry.

Leverage Container Application Software for Enterprises (CASE) files to download and transfer images to the private OpenShift registry.

Mirror images into the OpenShift cluster by using OpenShift's built-in image mirror utilities (oc mirror).

This method ensures that all required container images are available locally within the air-gapped environment.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect?

Option

Explanation

Correct?

B . An OVA form-factor of the Cloud Pak for Integration is recommended for high-security deployments.

Incorrect -- IBM Cloud Pak for Integration does not provide an OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) format for API Connect deployments. It is containerized and runs on OpenShift.

C . A pass-through route must be configured in the OpenShift Container Platform to connect to the online image registry.

Incorrect -- Air-gapped environments have no internet connectivity, so this approach would not work.

D . Use secure FTP to mirror software images in the OpenShift Container Platform cluster nodes.

Incorrect -- OpenShift does not use FTP for image mirroring; it relies on oc mirror and image registries for air-gapped deployments.

Final Answer:

A. Configure a laptop or bastion host to use Container Application Software for Enterprises files to mirror images.

I think option A sounds familiar, but I'm not entirely sure how to set up that bastion host correctly.

This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option B, since it mentions a "high security deployment" which seems relevant for an air-gapped environment. But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll need to think it through a bit more.

I'm not too familiar with air-gapped environments, but the mention of OpenShift Container Platform in options C and D makes me think those might be good approaches. I'll need to review the details of those options more closely.

Okay, I think I've got it. Option A looks like the best choice - configuring a laptop or bastion host to mirror the necessary images seems like the most logical way to install the API Connect capability in an air-gapped environment.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the options here. I'm not sure what "Container Application Software for Enterprises" or "OVA form-factor" refer to. I'll need to do some research on those terms before I can confidently answer this.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to focus on how to install the API Connect capability in an air-gapped environment, which means it's not connected to the internet.

I'm not sure about option B though, using an OVA form-factor of the Cloud Pak for Integration. It might not be the best choice for high security deployments.

Option B seems like the way to go for an air-gapped environment. The OVA form-factor of the Cloud Pak for Integration should provide the necessary security and isolation.
