305-300 Exam Dumps : LPIC-3: Virtualization and Containerization - Exam 305, version 3.0

The WORKDIR instruction sets the working directory for any subsequent RUN, CMD, ENTRYPOINT, COPY and ADD instructions that follow it in the Dockerfile1. The RUN instruction executes commands in a new layer on top of the current image and commits the results2. The RUN cd command does not change the working directory for the next RUN instruction, because each RUN command runs in a new shell and a new environment3. Therefore, the file test is created in the root directory (/) of the container image, not in the /tmp directory. References:

Dockerfile reference: WORKDIR

Dockerfile reference: RUN

 The correct way to start a new container that shares the /data volume with the datastore container is to use the --volumes-from flag. This flag mounts all the defined volumes from the referenced containers. In this case, the datastore container has a volume named /data, which is mounted in the service container at the same path. The other options are incorrect because they either use invalid flags, such as --share-with or --volume-backend, or they create new volumes instead of sharing the existing one, such as -v datastore:/data or -v /data. References:

The CPU flag that indicates the hardware virtualization capability on an AMD CPU is SVM. SVM stands for Secure Virtual Machine, and it is a feature of AMD processors that enables the CPU to run virtual machines with hardware assistance. SVM is also known as AMD-V, which is AMD’s brand name for its virtualization technology. SVM allows the CPU to support a hypervisor, which is a software layer that creates and manages virtual machines. A hypervisor can run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, each with its own operating system and applications. SVM improves the performance and security of virtual machines by allowing the CPU to directly execute privileged instructions and handle memory access, instead of relying on software emulation or binary translation. SVM also provides nested virtualization, which is the ability to run avirtual machine inside another virtual machine. To use SVM, the CPU must support it and the BIOS must enable it. The user can check if the CPU supports SVM by looking for the svm flag in the /proc/cpuinfo file or by using the lscpu command. The user can also use the virt-host-validate command to verify if the CPU and the BIOS are properly configured for hardware virtualization123. References:
