Question 4

You need to deny communication between the customer-db service and the payment service using an intention. You open the command line and issue the following

command:

$ consul intention create customer-db payment

However, the two services can still initiate new connections even after the intention is created. What would explain this?

A : default behavior of the command issued is allow

B : the mTLS certificates are both signed by the same CA, therefore the connectivity is permitted regardless of an intention

C : services are communicating over HTTP rather than HTTPS

D : ere is an identical intention that is permitting the connectivity

Answer: A

Question 5

Scenario: You have an application that uses Consul service discovery to connect to backend services in order to process data submitted by end-users. The front-end web

service consists of 3 containers, while the backend service consists of 5 static virtual machines. All of the front-end web servers and the backend servers are registered

with Consul.

During normal operations, a user complains that the data processing is taking too long. To troubleshoot, you run a DNS query against the DNS name for the backend

service, but discover that the response only contains three of the virtual machines. Why would Consul only respond with three servers rather than all five?

A : the response only included the three underutilized nodes

B : the DNS query must specify how many nodes to return in the response

C : health check is failing for the other two servers

D : nsul has a maximum response of three nodes in a given DNS query

Answer: C
