Full set: 259 questions
Answer options
A: The console cannot natively run in an ECS cluster. A onebox deployment should be used.
B: Download and extract the release tarball Ensure that each node has its own storage for Console data Create the Console task definition Deploy the task definition
C: Download and extract release tarball Download task from AWS Create the Console task definition Deploy the task definition
D: Download and extract the release tarball Create an EFS file system and mount to each node in the cluster Create the Console task definition Deploy the task definition Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Download and extract the release tarball Create an EFS file system and mount to each node in the cluster Create the Console task definition Deploy the task definition
Explanation

The correct steps to install the Prisma Cloud Compute Console in an Amazon ECS cluster involve ensuring data persistence and availability. The Console requires a shared, persistent file system so that if the Console task is rescheduled to a different EC2 instance, it can access its existing data. Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) provides this capability. Therefore, the correct procedure is to download the release, create and mount a shared EFS file system to the cluster nodes, create the ECS task definition referencing the EFS volume, and then deploy the task.

Why Incorrect

A. The Console can be deployed natively in an ECS cluster; a onebox deployment is typically for non-production or small-scale environments.
B. Using local storage on each node is incorrect because the Console data would be lost or inaccessible if the task moves to a different node.
C. "Download task from AWS" is not a standard step; an administrator creates a task definition based on the vendor's specifications, not downloads it from AWS.

This section explicitly states the prerequisite: "Create a shared file system, such as AWS EFS, and mount it on all the EC2 instances in your ECS cluster. The Console needs a persistent storage solution."
