C : Revert the system to its pre-patch state and compare the performance against the updated system.

D : Independently validate the updated components using automated tests designed for post-patch verification without involving active users.

Answer: D

Question 2

One of your services that pulls images from an external Docker registry is experiencing latency and intermittent downtime. To mitigate this issue, your team is considering implementing a mirror registry. What is the primary benefit of configuring a mirror registry in this scenario?

Options :

A : A mirror registry will reduce the deployment time of new pods by caching Docker images closer to your cluster.

B : A mirror registry allows for image scanning and signing to enhance security.

C : A mirror registry provides version control capabilities for Docker images.

D : A mirror registry enables direct editing of Docker images without the need for an external registry.

Answer: A
