Linux Foundation KCSA Exam Syllabus Topics:

Topic	Details
Topic 1	Kubernetes Cluster Component Security: This section of the exam measures the skills of a Kubernetes Administrator and focuses on securing the core components that make up a Kubernetes cluster. It encompasses the security configuration and potential vulnerabilities of essential parts such as the API server, etcd, kubelet, container runtime, and networking elements, ensuring each component is hardened against attacks.
Topic 2	Compliance and Security Frameworks: This section of the exam measures the skills of a Compliance Officer and focuses on applying formal structures to ensure security and meet regulatory demands. It covers working with industry-standard compliance and threat modeling frameworks, understanding supply chain security requirements, and utilizing automation tools to maintain and prove an organization's security posture.
Topic 3	Platform Security: This section of the exam measures the skills of a Cloud Security Architect and encompasses broader platform-wide security concerns. This includes securing the software supply chain from image development to deployment, implementing observability and service meshes, managing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), controlling network connectivity, and using admission controllers to enforce security policies.

Linux Foundation Kubernetes and Cloud Native Security Associate Sample Questions (Q17-Q22):

NEW QUESTION # 17
A cluster administrator wants to enforce the use of a different container runtime depending on the application a workload belongs to.

A. By modifying the kube-apiserver configuration file to specify the desired container runtime for each application.
B. By configuring avalidating admission controllerwebhook that verifies the container runtime based on the application label and rejects requests that do not comply.
C. By manually modifying the container runtime for each workload after it has been created.
D. By configuring amutating admission controllerwebhook that intercepts new workload creation requests and modifies the container runtime based on the application label.

Answer: D

Explanation:
* Kubernetes supports workload-specific runtimes viaRuntimeClass.
* Amutating admission controllercan enforce this automatically by:
* Intercepting workload creation requests.
* Modifying the Pod spec to set runtimeClassName based on labels or policies.
* Incorrect options:
* (A) Manual modification is not scalable or secure.
* (B) kube-apiserver cannot enforce per-application runtime policies.
* (C) A validating webhook can onlyreject, not modify, the runtime.

Kubernetes Documentation - RuntimeClass
CNCF Security Whitepaper - Admission controllers for enforcing runtime policies.

NEW QUESTION # 18
In a cluster that contains Nodes withmultiple container runtimesinstalled, how can a Pod be configured to be created on a specific runtime?

A. By modifying the Docker daemon configuration.
B. By setting the container runtime as an environment variable in the Pod.
C. By specifying the container runtime in the Pod's YAML file.
D. By using a command-line flag when creating the Pod.

Answer: C

Explanation:
* Kubernetes supportsmultiple container runtimeson a node via theRuntimeClassresource.
* To select a runtime, you specify the runtimeClassName field in thePod's YAML manifest. Example:
* apiVersion: v1
* kind: Pod
* metadata:
* name: example
* spec:
* runtimeClassName: gvisor
* containers:
* - name: app
* image: nginx
* Incorrect options:
* (A) You cannot specify container runtime through a kubectl command-line flag.
* (B) Modifying the Docker daemon config does not direct Kubernetes Pods to a runtime.
* (C) Environment variables inside a Pod spec do not control container runtimes.
References:
Kubernetes Documentation - RuntimeClass
CNCF Security Whitepaper - Workload isolation via different runtimes (e.g., gVisor, Kata) for enhanced security.

NEW QUESTION # 19
Why mightNetworkPolicyresources have no effect in a Kubernetes cluster?

A. NetworkPolicy resources are only enforced for unprivileged Pods.
B. NetworkPolicy resources are only enforced if the Kubernetes scheduler supports them.
C. NetworkPolicy resources are only enforced if the user has the right RBAC permissions.
D. NetworkPolicy resources are only enforced if the networking plugin supports them.

Answer: D

Explanation:
* NetworkPolicies define how Pods can communicate with each other and external endpoints.
* However, Kubernetes itselfdoes not enforce NetworkPolicy. Enforcement depends on theCNI plugin used (e.g., Calico, Cilium, Kube-Router, Weave Net).
* If a cluster is using a network plugin that does not support NetworkPolicies, then creating NetworkPolicy objects hasno effect.
References:
Kubernetes Documentation - Network Policies
CNCF Security Whitepaper - Platform security section: notes that security enforcement relies on CNI capabilities.

NEW QUESTION # 20
In a Kubernetes cluster, what are the security risks associated with using ConfigMaps for storing secrets?

A. Using ConfigMaps for storing secrets might make applications incompatible with the Kubernetes cluster.
B. ConfigMaps store sensitive information in etcd encoded in base64 format automatically, which does not ensure confidentiality of data.
C. Storing secrets in ConfigMaps does not allow for fine-grained access control via RBAC.
D. Storing secrets in ConfigMaps can expose sensitive information as they are stored in plaintext and can be accessed by unauthorized users.

Answer: D

Explanation:
* ConfigMaps are explicitly not for confidential data.
* Exact extract (ConfigMap concept):"A ConfigMap is an API object used to store non- confidential data in key-value pairs."
* Exact extract (ConfigMap concept):"ConfigMaps are not intended to hold confidential data. Use a Secret for confidential data."
* Why this is risky:data placed into a ConfigMap is stored as regular (plaintext) string values in the API and etcd (unless you deliberately use binaryData for base64 content you supply). That means if someone has read access to the namespace or to etcd/APIServer storage, they can view the values.
* Secrets vs ConfigMaps (to clarify distractor D):
* Exact extract (Secret concept):"By default, secret data is stored as unencrypted base64- encoded strings.You canenable encryption at restto protect Secrets stored in etcd."
* This base64 behavior applies toSecrets, not to ConfigMap data. Thus optionDis incorrect for ConfigMaps.
* About RBAC (to clarify distractor A):Kubernetesdoessupport fine-grained RBAC forboth ConfigMaps and Secrets; the issue isn't lack of RBAC but that ConfigMaps arenotdesigned for confidential material.
* About compatibility (to clarify distractor C):Using ConfigMaps for secrets doesn't make apps
"incompatible"; it's simplyinsecureand against guidance.
References:
Kubernetes Docs -ConfigMaps: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/ Kubernetes Docs -Secrets: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/ Kubernetes Docs -Encrypting Secret Data at Rest: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster
/encrypt-data/
Note: The citations above are from the official Kubernetes documentation and reflect the stated guidance that ConfigMaps are fornon-confidentialdata, while Secrets (with encryption at rest enabled) are forconfidential data, and that the 4C's map todefense in depth.

NEW QUESTION # 21
Which of the following statements best describes the role of the Scheduler in Kubernetes?

A. The Scheduler is responsible for ensuring the security of the Kubernetes cluster and its components.
B. The Scheduler is responsible for monitoring and managing the health of the Kubernetes cluster.
C. The Scheduler is responsible for managing the deployment and scaling of applications in the Kubernetes cluster.
D. The Scheduler is responsible for assigning Pods to nodes based on resource availability and other constraints.

Answer: D

Explanation:
* TheKubernetes Schedulerassigns Pods to nodes based on:
* Resource requests & availability (CPU, memory, GPU, etc.)
* Constraints (affinity, taints, tolerations, topology, policies)
* Exact extract (Kubernetes Docs - Scheduler):
* "The scheduler is a control plane process that assigns Pods to Nodes. Scheduling decisions take into account resource requirements, affinity/anti-affinity, constraints, and policies."
* Other options clarified:
* A: Monitoring cluster health is theController Manager's/kubelet's job.
* B: Security is enforced throughRBAC, admission controllers, PSP/PSA, not the scheduler.
* C: Deployment scaling is handled by theController Manager(Deployment/ReplicaSet controller).
