ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your organization is refactoring a monolithic web application into stateless microservices that will run in containers managed by a cloud-native orchestration platform. Management wants the new deployment to add or remove service instances automatically as traffic fluctuates, without manual administrator intervention. Which core capability of container orchestration platforms most directly enables this requirement and aligns with the cloud characteristic of rapid elasticity?

  • Sharing the underlying host operating system kernel to minimize virtualization overhead

  • Automatic horizontal scaling of containers based on real-time resource or application metrics

  • Built-in secret management for injecting credentials at container start-up

  • Use of overlay networking to decouple container networks from physical hosts
