With regard to cloud-native security in layers, what is the correct order of the four C's from the top (surface) layer to the bottom (base) layer?

The correct answer is B. code, container, cluster, cloud. The four C's of cloud-native security, as defined in the Kubernetes security model, are layered from innermost (surface/top) to outermost (base/bottom): Code → Container → Cluster → Cloud. Code is the most granular layer (application logic), which runs inside a Container, which…

Explanation

The four C's of cloud-native security, as defined in the Kubernetes security model, are layered from innermost (surface/top) to outermost (base/bottom): Code → Container → Cluster → Cloud. Code is the most granular layer (application logic), which runs inside a Container, which is orchestrated within a Cluster, which runs on top of the Cloud infrastructure. Each outer layer provides the security foundation for the layer above it.
