IBM C1000-130 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, licensing is based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPCs), and it includes entitlement for OpenShift usage. However, OpenShift master nodes (control plane nodes) do not consume license entitlement, because:

OpenShift licensing only applies to worker nodes.

The master nodes (control plane nodes) manage cluster operations and scheduling, but they do not run user workloads.

IBM’s Cloud Pak licensing model considers only the worker nodes for licensing purposes.

Master nodes are essential infrastructure and are excluded from entitlement calculations.

IBM and Red Hat do not charge for OpenShift master nodes in Cloud Pak deployments.

A. CP4I licenses include entitlement for the entire OpenShift cluster that they run on, and the administrator can count against the master nodes. → ❌ Incorrect

CP4I licenses do cover OpenShift, but only for worker nodes where workloads are deployed.

Master nodes are excluded from licensing calculations.

C. The administrator will need to purchase additional OpenShift licenses to cover the master nodes. → ❌ Incorrect

No additional OpenShift licenses are required for master nodes.

OpenShift licensing only applies to worker nodes that run applications.

D. CP4I licenses include entitlement for 3 cores of OpenShift per core of CP4I. → ❌ Incorrect

The standard IBM Cloud Pak licensing model provides 1 VPC of OpenShift for 1 VPC of CP4I, not a 3:1 ratio.

Additionally, this applies only to worker nodes, not master nodes.

In IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, when App Connect Operator is deployed in a restricted network (air-gapped environment), access to external cloud-based services (such as AWS S3) is typically not available.

A restricted network means no direct internet access, so external storage services like Amazon S3 cannot be used to store Broker Archive (BAR) files.

BAR files contain packaged integration flows for IBM App Connect Enterprise (ACE).

In restricted environments, administrators must use internal storage options, such as:

Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs)

Ephemeral storage (temporary, in-memory storage)

Why Option A (S3 Cannot Be Used) is Correct:

B. Ephemeral storage cannot be used for BAR files. → Incorrect

Ephemeral storage is supported but is not recommended for production because data is lost when the pod restarts.

C. Only Ephemeral storage is supported for BAR files. → Incorrect

Both Ephemeral storage and Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) are supported for storing BAR files.

Ephemeral storage is not the only option.

D. Persistent Claim storage cannot be used for BAR files. → Incorrect

Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) are a supported and recommended method for storing BAR files in a restricted network.

This ensures that integration flows persist even if a pod is restarted or redeployed.

IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2 Administration References:

The command:

oc extract secret/platform-auth-idp-credentials --to=-

is used to retrieve and display the admin user credentials stored in the platform-auth-idp-credentials secret within an OpenShift-based IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) deployment.

In IBM Cloud Pak Foundational Services, the platform-auth-idp-credentials secret contains the admin username and password used to authenticate with OpenShift and Cloud Pak services.

The oc extract command decodes the secret and displays its contents in plaintext in the terminal.

The --to=- flag directs the output to standard output (STDOUT), ensuring that the credentials are immediately visible instead of being written to a file.

This command is commonly used for recovering lost admin credentials or retrieving them for automated processes.

Why Option C (Displays the credentials of the admin user) is Correct:

A. Writes the OpenShift Container Platform credentials to the current directory. → Incorrect

The --to=- option displays the credentials, but it does not write them to a file in the directory.

To save the credentials to a file, the command would need a filename, e.g., --to=admin-creds.txt.

B. Generates Base64 decoded secrets for all Cloud Pak for Integration users. → Incorrect

The command only extracts one specific secret (platform-auth-idp-credentials), which contains the admin credentials only.

It does not generate or decode secrets for all users.

D. Distributes credentials throughout the Cloud Pak for Integration platform. → Incorrect

The command extracts and displays credentials, but it does not distribute or propagate them.

Credentials distribution in Cloud Pak for Integration is handled through Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations.
