Free CONSUL-003 sample questions

  1. Consul Server vs Client agent:

    • A. Servers participate in Raft consensus and hold cluster state
    • B. Clients forward queries and run locally on each application node
    • C. Both servers and clients participate in Raft consensus
    • D. Both servers and clients are completely stateless
    Show answer

    Correct: A and B. Servers participate in Raft consensus and hold state. Clients are stateless proxies and forward queries. Both are crucial for architecture.

  2. Consul gossip protocol uses:

    • A. TCP only
    • B. SWIM-based gossip (memberlist) over UDP + TCP — propagates membership and node-state across the cluster
    • C. BGP configuration
    • D. Multicast
    Show answer

    Correct: B. LAN gossip pool (intra-DC) + WAN gossip pool (inter-DC). Use gossip encryption keys for confidentiality.

  3. Consul service registration:

    • A. Manual only
    • B. Service definition file (HCL/JSON) registered with local agent OR via HTTP API — agent advertises to catalog
    • C. DNS configuration
    • D. Just k8s
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Service definitions live with the workload (next to the binary or in the sidecar). Include name, port, tags, health checks.

  4. Consul DNS interface:

    • A. Just HTTP
    • B. Built-in DNS server (default UDP/TCP 8600) for service queries — e.g., `web.service.consul`, `web.service.dc1.consul`
    • C. Just gRPC
    • D. Optional
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Apps without Consul-native client can use plain DNS. Configure recursors for non-Consul resolution. Often use dnsmasq/systemd-resolved to point .consul TLD at Consul.

  5. Health checks for a service:

    • A. No checks
    • B. Various types: script, HTTP, TCP, TTL, gRPC, Docker, alias — failing nodes removed from healthy results
    • C. Just ping
    • D. Just TCP
    Show answer

    Correct: B. Healthy-only DNS queries skip failed nodes. TTL checks require app to push status (good for apps that already self-report).
