SAMPLE QUESTION + SOLUTION EXPLANATION
Question: To enhance the security of your CI/CD pipeline, you need to perform vulnerability analysis on container images before deployment. Which Google Cloud service should you use, and how does it help?
A. Use Cloud Spanner to monitor container images.
B. Enable vulnerability scanning in Artifact Registry to analyze container images for known security issues, ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed before deployment.
C. Manually inspect container images for vulnerabilities.
D. Deploy container images directly without any vulnerability checks.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Enabling vulnerability scanning in Artifact Registry helps analyze container images for known security issues. This proactive measure ensures that vulnerabilities are identified and addressed before deployment, enhancing the security and compliance of the CI/CD pipeline.
