Why should auto-discovery remain enabled on dynamic platforms such as container orchestrators?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Nothing on a container platform stays still long enough to be listed by hand. If you turn off auto-discovery, your inventory goes stale almost immediately, so leave it on.
Full Explanation
Workloads on container platforms are created and destroyed continuously, so an inventory that is not discovered automatically becomes wrong almost immediately. Scheduling moves and replaces workloads constantly, and manual inventory cannot keep pace, so disabling discovery guarantees blind spots on the platforms that change most. Backend connectivity is independent of discovery, so auto-discovery is not required for the agent to reach the backend. Disabling a feature does not raise privilege requirements, so disabling auto-discovery does not increase agent privileges. Retention is a backend policy, so auto-discovery is not the only mechanism that applies retention policies. For the exam, associate dynamic platforms with automatic discovery.
