Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
Harbor is a CNCF-graduated open-source container image registry that enhances security and governance in containerized environments. Its primary roles include storing container images, providing vulnerability scanning, enforcing image signing and content trust, and delivering a secure environment for managing container images. However, it does not handle Kubernetes workload deployment or act as a load balancer, as these are outside its scope.
- A. Correct.
Harbor provides a secure image registry and includes features like vulnerability scanning to ensure the security of container images.
- B. Incorrect.
Harbor is not responsible for deploying workloads to Kubernetes clusters. This is handled by Kubernetes through manifests or CI/CD pipelines.
- C. Correct.
Harbor enables image signing and content trust to ensure that only authorized and verified images are used in deployments.
- D. Correct.
Harbor serves as a central repository for storing and managing container images, a fundamental role of any container registry.
- E. Incorrect.
Harbor is not a load balancer. Kubernetes uses components like kube-proxy or external tools like MetalLB for load balancing.
