CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 114

Which of the following can eliminate the risk of CI/CD pipelines leaking secrets on containers?

Answer options

• A. Peer-reviewed pull requests
• B. Use of a VM instead of containers
• C. Private image repositories
• D. Canary tests

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Using private image repositories helps ensure that sensitive credentials and secrets are not exposed to the public, thus reducing the risk of leaks. Peer-reviewed pull requests, VMs, and canary tests do not directly address the specific issue of secrets being exposed within container images.
