Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 124

Annie, a cloud security engineer, uses the Docker architecture to employ a client/server model in the application she is working on. She utilizes a component that can process API requests and handle various Docker objects, such as containers, volumes, images, and networks.
What is the component of the Docker architecture used by Annie in the above scenario?

Answer options

• A. Docker objects
• B. Docker daemon
• C. Docker client
• D. Docker registries

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the Docker daemon, as it is responsible for managing Docker containers and responding to API requests. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the general assets in Docker, not a specific component. Option C, the Docker client, is the interface for users to interact with Docker but does not manage the containers directly. Option D, Docker registries, is where Docker images are stored and does not handle API requests or manage objects.
