QuestionQ25

Perform Day 2 Operations

At a financial company, a DevOps team supports all of the company’s critical applications. Although the team is experienced, manually managing cluster health checks has become increasingly complex and error-prone.

The team asks the company’s Platform Engineer how to best resolve these issues. They report that the following events are occurring:

  • Pod security standards are being omitted.
  • CrashLooping cases occur.
  • Nodes fail when deploying or running kube-bench.

What recommendation should the engineer give the DevOps team?

Explanation

AlertManager centralizes alerts for operational failures such as CrashLooping workloads and node problems, while NKP Insights proactively identifies cluster security and configuration anomalies. NKP Insights uses kube-bench to assess cluster security posture against CIS benchmarks, making the combined tools appropriate for continuous health monitoring and security/compliance detection.
