answers:
1. Scenario: You have a Docker container running a web application, but you
want to modify the application's con guration without rebuilding the entire
image. How would you approach this?
Answer: I would use environment variables or con guration volumes to
separate the application's con guration from the image. By modifying the
environment variables or mounting a con guration volume when running the
container, I can update the con guration without rebuilding the image.
1. Scenario: You have a Docker container running a database server, and you
want to ensure the data persists even if the container is stopped or restarted.
How would you achieve this?
Answer: I would use Docker volumes to persist the database data. By
creating a named volume or mounting a host directory as a volume when
running the container, the database data will be stored outside the container,
ensuring persistence even if the container is stopped or restarted.
3. Scenario: You need to build a Docker image for a Python application. How
would you optimize the image build process to reduce the image size?
Answer: To optimize the image size, I would use a multi-stage build. In the
rst stage, I would use a lightweight base image like Alpine Linux and install
the necessary dependencies. Then, in the second stage, I would copy only
the required les from the rst stage, discarding any unnecessary build
dependencies, resulting in a smaller nal image size.
4. Scenario: You are running multiple containers on a Docker host, and you
want to ensure isolation between them. How would you achieve container
isolation?
Answer: I would leverage Docker's built-in isolation mechanisms, such as
using separate network namespaces, restricting container capabilities, and
using user namespaces to map container users to host users. Additionally, I
would apply appropriate security measures like resource limits and
container-speci c access controls.
