Validate understanding
Kubernetes & AKS Academy: Knowledge assessment
Test whether you can explain concepts, select controls and reason through production trade-offs.
01Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Kubernetes Architecture?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Explain desired state; Trace a deployment request; Locate control-plane responsibility. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
02Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Pods?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Read pod status; Design probes; Handle resources and termination. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
03Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of ReplicaSets?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Explain replica reconciliation; Inspect ownership; Diagnose unavailable replicas. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
04Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Deployments?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Configure rollout strategy; Read rollout status; Recover safely. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
05Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of DaemonSets?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Identify valid use cases; Control scheduling; Plan safe updates. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
06Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of StatefulSets?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Explain stable identity; Plan storage; Understand operational constraints. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
07Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Services?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Select service types; Trace traffic; Debug endpoints. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
08Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Ingress?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Separate resource and controller; Configure TLS; Troubleshoot routing. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
09Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of Volumes?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Select access modes; Understand dynamic provisioning; Plan backup. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
10Which design or operational decision best demonstrates production understanding of ConfigMaps?
A strong answer should use these outcomes: Inject configuration; Plan reload behaviour; Avoid environment coupling. It should also explain risk, evidence and rollback.
