NEW QUESTION # 29
You need to expose an application over HTTPS on your Cilium-managed Kubernetes cluster The security team has specifically asked for traffic to be encrypted all the way from the external clients to the Service.
Which option should you use?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Technical explanation
The requirement is that traffic remain encrypted all the way from the external client to the backend Service .
Therefore, TLS must not terminate at the Cilium Gateway/Envoy proxy .
With TLS Passthrough , Cilium forwards the encrypted TLS stream to the backend without decrypting the application traffic. Envoy can inspect the TLS ClientHello/SNI sufficiently to select the appropriate backend, but the TLS session itself continues to the Service. Cilium specifically supports TLS passthrough with the Gateway API TLSRoute resource .
By contrast, TLS Terminate + HTTPRoute decrypts the connection at the Gateway. Although a separate encrypted connection to the backend can be configured in some architectures, that is not the same as preserving the original end-to-end TLS session requested here. Cilium's HTTPS Gateway examples use TLS termination when the Gateway itself handles the certificate.

NEW QUESTION # 30
We observed Hubble output:
Question 7 Hubble flow exhibit
Explain what may have happened:
Answer: A
Explanation:
Technical explanation
The exhibit records connections originating from default/test and directed to default/test2 , eliminating B and C because those choices reverse the initiating workload. For destination port 80, the flow shows the TCP three-way handshake-SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK-followed by bidirectional packets with ACK/PSH flags and an orderly FIN exchange. This is the pattern of a successfully established request and response, so the first curl operation succeeded.
The later connection targets port 8080. Hubble records a SYN from test followed by an ACK, RST response from test2 . A reset returned immediately after the connection attempt indicates that the destination rejected or could not accept the connection, commonly because no process was listening on that port. It is not shown as a policy drop; both entries carry the FORWARDED verdict. Thus the network delivered the packets, but the TCP connection itself failed.
Option D is the only choice matching a successful request from test to port 80 and a failed request from test to port 8080. Its displayed IP strings contain source-document transcription defects, but its workload direction, ports, and outcomes match the exhibit.

NEW QUESTION # 31
What would be a benefit of using remote service affinity in a Cluster Mesh deployment?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Technical explanation
Remote service affinity directs a global Service to prefer healthy backend endpoints located in remote clusters. This can support maintenance or staged rollouts in which the local copy of an application is temporarily unavailable or intentionally removed from service. Requests originating in the local cluster continue through the same global Service but are forwarded to the preferred remote backends, matching the use case described by D.
Cilium configures this behavior through the service.cilium.io/affinity: "remote" annotation. The preference affects backend selection; it does not require clients to use a different Service address. If remote backends are available, they are marked as preferred. This provides operators with a controlled way to direct traffic away from the local deployment during an update.
Option A describes local affinity from the perspective of the cluster containing the client, not remote affinity.
Option B incorrectly introduces the Egress Gateway, which provides controlled source addresses and routing for outbound traffic rather than Cluster Mesh global-Service affinity. Option C describes the normal none affinity behavior, under which Cilium has no local-or-remote preference and can load-balance across both categories.
Remote affinity therefore enables temporary cross-cluster continuity while local application instances are updated or otherwise unavailable.

NEW QUESTION # 32
What is true about WireGuard encryption on Cilium?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Technical explanation
B is the best answer, with two qualifications. First, "pop-to-pod" is evidently a source typo for "pod-to-pod." Second, default WireGuard mode encrypts traffic between Cilium-managed pods on different nodes; node-to- node, pod-to-node, and node-to-pod coverage requires enabling the additional encryption.
nodeEncryption=true mode.
Cilium creates WireGuard peers per node, not per pod. Each Cilium agent generates a node key pair, advertises the public key through its CiliumNode resource, and forms secure tunnels with other known nodes.
This makes D incorrect. Same-node packets do not traverse a WireGuard tunnel because encryption cannot protect them from an observer already able to inspect raw traffic on that host, so A reverses the documented behavior.
C also reverses the encapsulation sequence. In tunnel-routing mode, pod traffic is first encapsulated for the VXLAN or Geneve overlay and is then encapsulated by WireGuard. The result is double encapsulation, with WireGuard protecting the overlay packet while it crosses the network between nodes.
Thus, B describes WireGuard's supported traffic coverage most closely, but exam candidates should remember the separate node-encryption configuration requirement.

NEW QUESTION # 33
Why is the iptables implementation of kube-proxy less scalable than eBPF?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Technical explanation
B expresses the principal scalability distinction intended by the question. In kube-proxy's iptables mode, Kubernetes Services and endpoints are represented by chains of netfilter rules. As the number of Services and backends grows, rule creation, synchronization, and packet traversal can involve increasingly large rule sets.
Matching through those chains is generally described as having linear scaling characteristics.
Cilium's kube-proxy replacement stores service and backend state in eBPF maps. Hash-map lookups allow the datapath to locate service entries without sequentially scanning a rule for every Service, providing effectively constant-time lookup behavior for the relevant map operations. This makes the approach better suited to large and frequently changing Kubernetes environments.
Option A is false because iptables and netfilter also operate within the Linux kernel. Option C is false because kube-proxy's iptables implementation supports IPv6 when the surrounding Kubernetes and host configuration supports it. Option D does not explain kube-proxy's primary scaling limitation and introduces an unrelated SmartNIC/XDP claim.
The constant-time description is a useful architectural simplification; total performance still depends on map sizing, backend selection, connection tracking, and kernel behavior.
