Question 32
Domain 1: Cluster SetupBefore deploying core Kubernetes platform binaries on a new node, what should an administrator verify for kubectl, kubelet, and containerd?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Before deploying platform binaries, verify their checksums to confirm the downloaded files match the expected integrity values. — cks_syllabus.txt
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Verify that kubectl, kubelet, and containerd use the same version number on every host.
Version matching is not the stated verification task; the focus is checksum validation of the binaries.
B. Verify the binary checksums for kubectl, kubelet, and containerd before deployment.
The listed task is specifically binary checksums verification for kubectl, kubelet, and containerd before deploying platform binaries, which directly matches this requirement.
C. Verify that kubectl, kubelet, and containerd are all installed from the same package repository.
Repository source is not the stated requirement; the required verification is the binaries' checksums.
D. Verify that kubectl, kubelet, and containerd are restarted after installation completes.
Restarting services is an operational step, not the specified predeployment verification activity.
