Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 20

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, which is responsible for processing API requests and managing Docker objects. Option A is incorrect because 'Docker objects' refers to the various elements managed, not a component itself. Option C, Docker client, is the interface used to communicate with the Docker daemon, and option D, Docker registries, are used for storing and distributing Docker images, not for processing API requests.
