IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.4.3 Associate Analyst — Question 24

What is a container image?

Answer options

• A. A read-write docker file specifying all properties of a container
• B. A read-only file that includes commands and instructions to run a container
• C. A read-only static file that includes executable code, libraries, and dependencies that are required by an application to run
• D. A running process on the host operating system specifying the container’s key-value configuration

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because a container image is indeed a read-only file that contains all the necessary components for an application to run, including code and libraries. Options A and B are incorrect as they mischaracterize the nature of a container image, and option D describes a running instance rather than the image itself.
