Docker Updated DCA Exam Questions and Answers by vienna

 The set of commands docker port inspect and docker container inspect will not identify the published port(s) for a container. The reason is that there is no such command as docker port inspect. The correct command to inspect the port mappings of a container is docker port1. The command docker container inspect can also show the port mappings of a container, but it will display a lot of other information as well, so it is not as concise as docker port2. To identify the published port(s) for a container, you can use either of these commands:

• docker port CONTAINER will list all the port mappings of the container1.
• docker port CONTAINER PRIVATE_PORT will list only the port mapping of the specified private port of the container1.
• docker container inspect --format=' { {.NetworkSettings.Ports}}' CONTAINER will list only the port mappings of the container in a JSON format23.

For example, if you have a container named web that publishes port 80 to port 8080 on the host, you can use any of these commands to identify the published port:

$ docker port web

80/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:8080

$ docker port web 80

0.0.0.0:8080

$ docker container inspect --format=' { {.NetworkSettings.Ports}}' web

map[80/tcp:[map[HostIp:0.0.0.0 HostPort:8080]]]

= Mounting the configuration file directly into the appropriate pod and container using the .spec.containers.configMounts key is not a valid way to provide a configuration file to a container at runtime. The .spec.containers.configMounts key does not exist in the Kubernetes API1. The correct way to provide a configuration file to a container at runtime is to use a ConfigMap2. A ConfigMap is a Kubernetes object that stores configuration data as key-value pairs. You can create a ConfigMap from a file, and then mount the ConfigMap as a volume into the pod and container. The configuration file will be available as a file in the specified mount path3. Alternatively, you can also use environment variables to pass configuration data to a container from a ConfigMap4. References:

• PodSpec v1 core
• Configure a Pod to Use a ConfigMap
• Populate a Volume with data stored in a ConfigMap
• Define Container Environment Variables Using ConfigMap Data

= The command ‘docker service create --name dns-cache -p 53:53/udp dns-cache’ creates a swarm service that only listens on port 53 using the UDP protocol. This is because the -p flag specifies the port mapping between the host and the service, and the /udp suffix indicates the protocol to use1. Port 53 is commonly used for DNS services, which use UDP as the default transport protocol2. The dns-cache argument is the name of the image to use for the service.

I hope this helps you understand the command and the protocol, and how they work with Docker and swarm. If you have any other questions related to Docker, please feel free to ask me. ????
