 x.500 is not a supported user authentication method for Universal Control Plane (UCP). UCP supports two types of user authentication methods: built-in and external1. Built-in authentication uses the UCP’s own database to store and verify user credentials. External authentication uses an external LDAP or Active Directory service to manage user accounts and passwords1. x.500 is a standard for directory services, which can be used by LDAP or Active Directory, but it is not a user authentication method by itself2. References:

The solution given is not a valid way to provide a configuration file to a container at runtime using Kubernetes tools and steps. The reason is that there is no such key as .spec.containers.configMounts in the PodSpec. The correct key to use is .spec.containers.volumeMounts, which specifies the volumes to mount into the container’s filesystem1. To use a ConfigMap as a volume source, one needs to create a ConfigMap object that contains the configuration file as a key-value pair, and then reference it in the .spec.volumes section of the PodSpec2. A ConfigMap is a Kubernetes API object that lets you store configuration data for other objects to use3. For example, to provide a nginx.conf file to a nginx container, one can do the following steps:

Create a ConfigMap from the nginx.conf file:

kubectl create configmap nginx-config --from-file=nginx.conf

Create a Pod that mounts the ConfigMap as a volume and uses it as the configuration file for the nginx container:

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

name: nginx-pod

spec:

containers:

- name: nginx

image: nginx

volumeMounts:

- name: config-volume

mountPath: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

subPath: nginx.conf

volumes:

- name: config-volume

configMap:

name: nginx-config

= Provisioning a Docker config object for each environment is a way to provision configuration to containers at runtime. Docker configs allow services to adapt their behaviour without the need to rebuild a Docker image. Services can only access configs when explicitly granted by a configs attribute within the services top-level element. As with volumes, configs are mounted as files into a service’s container’s filesystem1. Docker configs are supported on both Linux and Windows services2. References: Docker Documentation, Configs top-level element

= The pid namespace is not a Linux kernel namespace that is disabled by default and must be enabled at Docker engine runtime to be used. The pid namespace is one of the six namespaces that are enabled by default when you run a container with Docker1. The pid namespace isolates the process ID number space, meaning that processes in different pid namespaces can have the same PID2. This allows containers to have their own init process with PID 1 and to limit the visibility and interaction of processes between containers and the host3. To disable the pid namespace, you need to use the --pid option with the docker run command and specify the host or another container as the pid mode. References:
