2V0-71.23 Question 285
Select 3Your organization has deployed a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster using VMware Tanzu. To ensure consistent application connectivity and traffic control between microservices, the team is evaluating Tanzu Service Mesh. Which features provided by Tanzu Service Mesh address application-level traffic management and connectivity requirements?
- A
Automatic service discovery and routing between microservices
- B
Policy-based traffic control, including rate limiting and retries
- C
Centralized data storage for persistent volumes in Kubernetes
- D
End-to-end encryption of service-to-service communication
- E
Dynamic scaling of application workloads in response to traffic spikes
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Tanzu Service Mesh is a critical component in VMware Tanzu's ecosystem for managing application connectivity and traffic control. It provides features like automatic service discovery, policy-based traffic management (e.g., rate limiting and retries), and end-to-end encryption for secure communication. These capabilities help ensure reliable, secure, and efficient communication between microservices. However, features such as dynamic scaling and persistent volume management are outside the scope of Tanzu Service Mesh and are handled by other Kubernetes functionalities.
- A. Correct.
Tanzu Service Mesh supports automatic service discovery and routing, which simplifies connectivity between microservices in a Kubernetes environment.
- B. Correct.
Policy-based traffic control, such as rate limiting, retries, and circuit breaking, is a core feature of Tanzu Service Mesh, enabling fine-grained traffic management.
- C. Incorrect.
Tanzu Service Mesh is not designed for centralized data storage or managing persistent volumes; this is managed by other Kubernetes components, such as StorageClasses.
- D. Correct.
Tanzu Service Mesh provides end-to-end encryption for service-to-service communication, enhancing security in microservice architectures.
- E. Incorrect.
While dynamic scaling is essential in Kubernetes environments, it is achieved through Horizontal Pod Autoscalers or other tools, not directly through Tanzu Service Mesh.
