SC-100 Certification Practice Question #167

Question

You plan to deploy 20 Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. The cluster configuration will be managed declaratively by using Kubernetes manifest files stored in Azure Repos.

You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the configuration of all the clusters remains consistent by using the manifest files stored in Azure Repos.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Accepted Answer

The requirement is declarative, continuous reconciliation of manifest files stored in Azure Repos across many AKS clusters — this is the textbook definition of GitOps. Flux is the GitOps operator Azure ships as the native `microsoft.flux` AKS cluster extension; it polls the Git repo and reconciles each cluster to the desired state, keeping all 20 clusters consistent. Gatekeeper enforces policy but does not pull/apply manifests; Dependabot and "Dependency Tracker" address software-dependency hygiene, not cluster configuration drift. Suggested Answer, Most Voted, the 2-👍 comment (with the MS Learn link), and MS Learn all agree on D.
