Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 29

What are two security benefits of a Docker-based application? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. natively secures access to secrets that are used by the running application
• B. guarantees container images are secured and free of vulnerabilities
• C. easier to patch because Docker containers include only dependencies that the application requires
• D. prevents information leakage occurring when unhandled exceptions are returned in HTTP responses
• E. allows for separation of applications that traditionally run on the same host

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Option C is correct because Docker containers only include the necessary dependencies, making it easier to apply patches. Option E is also correct as it allows for the isolation of applications on a single host, enhancing security. The other options, while relevant to security, do not specifically highlight the unique benefits offered by Docker in this context.
