C1000-130 Exam Dumps : IBM Cloud Pak for Integration V2021.2 Administration

When replacing the default ingress certificate in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, one critical requirement is that the private key associated with the new certificate must be unencrypted.

OpenShift’s Ingress Controller (which CP4I uses) requires an unencrypted private key to properly load and use the custom TLS certificate.

Encrypted private keys would require manual decryption each time the ingress controller starts, which is not supported for automation.

The custom certificate and its key are stored in a Kubernetes secret, which already provides encryption at rest, making additional encryption unnecessary.

Why Option A (Unencrypted Private Key) is Correct:To apply a new custom certificate for ingress, the process typically involves:

Creating a Kubernetes secret containing the unencrypted private key and certificate:

sh

CopyEdit

oc create secret tls custom-ingress-cert \

--cert=custom.crt \

--key=custom.key -n openshift-ingress

Updating the OpenShift Ingress Controller configuration to use the new secret.

B. The certificate file must have only a single certificate. → ❌ Incorrect

The certificate file can contain a certificate chain, including intermediate and root certificates, to ensure proper validation by clients.

It is not limited to a single certificate.

C. The new certificate private key must be encrypted. → ❌ Incorrect

If the private key is encrypted, OpenShift cannot automatically use it without requiring a decryption passphrase, which is not supported for automated deployments.

D. The new certificate must be a self-signed certificate. → ❌ Incorrect

While self-signed certificates can be used, they are not mandatory.

Administrators typically use certificates from trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) to avoid browser security warnings.

To add the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) CatalogSource objects to an OpenShift cluster that has internet access, there are two primary methods:

Using oc apply -f filename (Option A)

The CatalogSource resource definition can be written in a YAML file and applied using the OpenShift CLI.

This method ensures that the cluster is correctly set up with the required catalog sources for CP4I.

Example command:

sh

CopyEdit

oc apply -f cp4i-catalogsource.yaml

This is a widely used approach for configuring OpenShift resources.

Using the OpenShift Admin Web Console (Option E)

Administrators can manually paste the CatalogSource YAML definition into the OpenShift Admin Web Console.

Navigate to Administrator → Operators → OperatorHub → Create CatalogSource, paste the YAML, and click Create.

This provides a UI-based alternative to using the CLI.

B (Incorrect): There is no valid icr-io/cp4int:2.4 catalog project import method for adding a CatalogSource. IBM’s container images are hosted on IBM Cloud Container Registry (ICR), but this method is not used for adding a CatalogSource.

C (Incorrect): Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes (RHOAR) is unrelated to the CatalogSource object creation for CP4I.

D (Incorrect): Downloading the CP4I driver and using oc new-project is not the correct approach for adding a CatalogSource. The oc new-project command is used to create OpenShift projects but does not deploy catalog sources.

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, licensing is based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPCs), and it includes entitlement for OpenShift usage. However, OpenShift master nodes (control plane nodes) do not consume license entitlement, because:

OpenShift licensing only applies to worker nodes.

The master nodes (control plane nodes) manage cluster operations and scheduling, but they do not run user workloads.

IBM’s Cloud Pak licensing model considers only the worker nodes for licensing purposes.

Master nodes are essential infrastructure and are excluded from entitlement calculations.

IBM and Red Hat do not charge for OpenShift master nodes in Cloud Pak deployments.

A. CP4I licenses include entitlement for the entire OpenShift cluster that they run on, and the administrator can count against the master nodes. → ❌ Incorrect

CP4I licenses do cover OpenShift, but only for worker nodes where workloads are deployed.

Master nodes are excluded from licensing calculations.

C. The administrator will need to purchase additional OpenShift licenses to cover the master nodes. → ❌ Incorrect

No additional OpenShift licenses are required for master nodes.

OpenShift licensing only applies to worker nodes that run applications.

D. CP4I licenses include entitlement for 3 cores of OpenShift per core of CP4I. → ❌ Incorrect

The standard IBM Cloud Pak licensing model provides 1 VPC of OpenShift for 1 VPC of CP4I, not a 3:1 ratio.

Additionally, this applies only to worker nodes, not master nodes.
