 Control Groups (cgroups) are a Linux kernel feature that allow you to limit, modify, or allocate resources as needed1. Docker uses cgroups to isolate the resources used bycontainers, such as CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, etc2. This means that each container can have its own set of resource limits and constraints, and that the containers cannot interfere with each other or with the host system2. This improves the security, performance, and reliability of the containers and the system as a whole. References:

Creating a Dockerfile for each environment, specifying ports and Docker secrets for certificates is not a way to provision configuration to containers at runtime. A Dockerfile is a text document that contains all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble an image1. A Dockerfile is used to build an image, not to run a container. Once an image is built, the configuration specified in the Dockerfile cannot be changed at runtime. To provision configuration to containers at runtime, you need to use a different mechanism, such as environment variables, command-line arguments, or config maps234. References:

 = The solution will not configure a Docker container to export container logs to the logging solution, such as Splunk. The command docker system events --filter splunk is not a valid command to send logs to a remote destination. The --filter option for docker system events only accepts the following keys: container, daemon, event, image, label, network, plugin, type, and volume1. splunk is not a valid key for filtering events. To configure a Docker container to export container logs to a logging solution, such as Splunk, you need to use the --log-driver and --log-opt options when creating or running the container2. For example, to use the Splunk logging driver, you can use the following command:

docker run --log-driver=splunk --log-opt splunk-token=176FCEBF-4CF5-4EDF-91BC-703796522D20 --log-opt splunk-url=https://splunkhost:8088 ...

This command will send the container logs to the Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) endpoint specified by the splunk-url option, using the authentication token provided by the splunk-token option3. You can also use other logging drivers, such as syslog, fluentd, gelf, etc., depending on your logging solution4. References:

n: = Using the DTR web UI to make all tags in the repository immutable is not a good way to prevent an image, such as ‘nginx:latest’, from being overwritten by another user with push access to the repository. This is because making all tags immutable would prevent any updates to the images in the repository, which may not be desirable for some use cases. For example, if a user wants to push a new version of ‘nginx:latest’ with a security patch, they would not be able to do so if the tag is immutable. A better way to prevent an image from being overwritten by another user is to use the DTR web UI to create a promotion policy that restricts who can push to a specific tag or repository1. Alternatively, the user can also use the DTR API to create a webhook that triggers a custom action when an image is pushed to a repository2. References:

The command kubectl get deployment api will only show the status of the deployment object, such as the number of replicas, available pods, and updated pods1. It will not display the events table for the deployment, which contains information about the creation, scaling, and updating of the deployment and its pods2. To see the events table for the deployment, you need to use the kubectl describe deployment api command, which will show the details of the deployment object, including the events3. Alternatively, you can use the kubectl get events --field-selector involvedObject.name=api command, which will filter the events by the name of the involved object4. References:

= The strategy of creating a PersistentVolume with hostPath and a PersistentVolumeClaim to mount the /data directory on your laptop into a container will not work, because hostPath volumes are only suitable for single node testing or development. They are not portable across nodes and do not support dynamic provisioning. If you want to mount a local directory from your laptop into a Kubernetes pod, you need to use a different type of volume, such as NFS, hostPath CSI, or minikube. Alternatively, you can copy the files from your laptop to the container using kubectl cp command. References:

How to Mount a Host Directory Into a Docker Container

 Namespaces are a Linux kernel feature that isolate containers from each other and from the host system. They limit the access of a container to host resources, such as CPU or memory, by creating a separate namespace for each aspect of a container, such as process IDs, network interfaces, user IDs, etc. This way, a container can only see and use the resources that belong to its own namespace, and not those of other containers or the host12. References:

The action will not upgrade Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE. Disabling the Docker service via chkconfig or systemctl will only stop the Docker daemon from running, but it will not change the version or edition of the Docker engine1. To upgrade Docker Engine CE to Docker Engine EE, you need to follow these steps2:

Download your Docker Enterprise license from the Docker Store).

Install the docker-ee package from the Docker repository.

Restart the Docker service and verify the version and edition. References: Start or stop the Docker daemon), How to upgrade Docker 18.09 Community Edition to Docker Enterprise 18.09)

Image role-based access control is not a function of UCP. UCP has its own built-in authentication mechanism and integrates with LDAP services. It also has role-based access control (RBAC), so that you can control who can access and make changes to your cluster and applications1. However, image role-based access control is a feature of Docker Trusted Registry (DTR), which integrates with UCP and allows you to manage the images you use for your applications2. DTR lets you define granular permissions for images, such as who can push, pull, delete, or scan them3. References: Universal Control Plane overview), Docker Trusted Registry overview), Docker Access Control)
