What is the most effective method to assess the runtime state of containers in a Kubernetes environment without deploying a Falcon sensor?

Question

Options

• AUse third-party threat detection solutions like Aqua Security or Sysdig
• BQuery the Kubernetes API server using tools like kubectl
• CEnable runtime monitoring in Docker by default
• DInstall a Falcon sensor on the Kubernetes cluster nodes

• A
  8% (2)
• B
  83% (20)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option A: Third-party solutions often require additional agents or sensors, which contradicts the question's premise. Moreover, using these tools typically involves additional configuration and integration steps. Option B: The Kubernetes API server provides detailed insights into the current state of pods and containers in a cluster. By querying the API with tools like kubectl, administrators can list running containers, view their status, and identify runtime configurations without deploying additional agents. This method leverages existing infrastructure for visibility. Option C: Docker's built-in runtime monitoring is limited in scope and does not integrate with Kubernetes orchestration layers. Additionally, it is not enabled by default in most environments, making it unsuitable for cloud-scale Kubernetes clusters. Option D: While installing a Falcon sensor on cluster nodes offers enhanced security monitoring and runtime protection, the question specifies identifying running containers without deploying a Falcon sensor, making this option incorrect.
