2V0-71.23 Question 80
Select 3An organization is deploying a microservices-based application across multiple Kubernetes clusters in different regions. They need to ensure secure communication between services, observe traffic behavior, and enforce policies across clusters. How does VMware Tanzu Service Mesh address these requirements?
- A
Tanzu Service Mesh provides service-to-service encryption using mutual TLS (mTLS).
- B
Tanzu Service Mesh enables multi-cluster service discovery and routing.
- C
Tanzu Service Mesh automatically scales Kubernetes worker nodes based on traffic demand.
- D
Tanzu Service Mesh offers traffic observability, including metrics, tracing, and visualizations.
- E
Tanzu Service Mesh integrates with VMware NSX-T to provide network security for physical data centers.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
VMware Tanzu Service Mesh is designed to address challenges in microservices communication by providing features like service-to-service encryption (mTLS), multi-cluster service discovery and routing, and traffic observability. These capabilities enhance security, connectivity, and operational insights for applications across Kubernetes clusters. However, aspects like Kubernetes autoscaling or physical network security are outside the scope of Tanzu Service Mesh's core functionalities.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Tanzu Service Mesh uses mutual TLS (mTLS) to secure service-to-service communication, ensuring encrypted and authenticated interactions between microservices.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Tanzu Service Mesh enables seamless multi-cluster service discovery and routing, addressing the challenge of connecting services across regions or clusters.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Tanzu Service Mesh focuses on traffic management, security, and observability, but scaling Kubernetes worker nodes is handled by Kubernetes autoscaling features, not the service mesh.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Tanzu Service Mesh provides traffic observability features, including metrics, distributed tracing, and visualizations to help monitor and debug application behavior.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While VMware NSX-T provides network security, its integration is not a core feature of Tanzu Service Mesh, which operates at the application layer rather than the physical network layer.
