Question #: 41
Topic #: 2

How does Prisma Cloud Compute offer workload security at runtime?

AIt automatically builds an allow-list security model for every container and service.

BIt quarantines containers that demonstrate increased CPU and memory usage.

CIt automatically patches vulnerabilities and compliance issues for every container and service.

DIt works with the identity provider (IdP; to identify overprivileged containers and services and it restricts network access

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Kubernetes/Deployment Type/Environment is the structure of the YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) file repository. YAML is a human-readable data serialization language that is commonly used for configuration files. YAML file repository is a collection of YAML files that specify the resources and configuration for deploying and managing infrastructure components, such as firewalls, load balancers, networks, or servers. Kubernetes/Deployment Type/Environment is the structure of the YAML file repository that organizes the YAML files based on the following criteria:

Kubernetes: The platform that provides orchestration, automation, and management of containerized applications.

Deployment Type: The method or model of deploying and managing infrastructure components, such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or Kubernetes manifests.

Environment: The type or stage of the cloud or virtualization environment, such as development, testing, staging, or production. Deployment Type/Kubernetes/Environment, Kubernetes/Environment/Deployment Type, and Environment/Kubernetes/Deployment Type are not the structure of the YAML file repository, but they are related ways of organizing YAML files based on different criteria.

I’m leaning towards the option about quarantining containers, but I’m not confident that’s how Prisma Cloud handles runtime security.

I'm just hoping the test doesn't ask about the secret handshake required to get Prisma Cloud Compute to work. That's the real challenge, am I right?

Automatically patching vulnerabilities and compliance issues is important, but I don't think that's the primary way Prisma Cloud Compute offers workload security at runtime.
