CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 114

A Linux administrator is tasked with creating resources using containerization. When deciding how to create this type of deployment, the administrator identifies some key features, including portability, high availability, and scalability in production. Which of the following should the Linux administrator choose for the new design?

Answer options

• A. Docker
• B. On-premises systems
• C. Cloud-based systems
• D. Kubernetes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Kubernetes is the correct choice because it is designed to manage containerized applications across a cluster of machines, providing high availability and scalability. Docker, while essential for creating containers, does not inherently offer orchestration or management features at the scale that Kubernetes does. On-premises and cloud-based systems refer more to the hosting environment rather than the orchestration of containers.
