ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your team is refactoring a monolithic payroll application into container-based microservices that will run on a managed Kubernetes service. To address the impact of containers and DevSecOps within the cloud reference architecture, which design decision MOST effectively strengthens workload isolation while enabling automated security checks during the CI/CD pipeline?

  • Create each microservice from a minimal base image, deploy it in its own Kubernetes namespace, and have the pipeline run an image vulnerability scan on every build before promotion.

  • Package all microservices into a single container image to reduce inter-pod traffic and manually sign the image only during annual release cycles.

  • Run containers in privileged mode with host networking enabled to simplify troubleshooting and avoid namespace overhead.

  • Disable Kubernetes role-based access control so the CI/CD service account can deploy freely, relying on perimeter firewalls for security.
