When using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration and deploying the DataPower Gateway service, which statement...

When deploying IBM DataPower Gateway as part of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2, administrators can enable a selected list of add-on modules based on their requirements. This allows customization and optimization of the deployment by enabling only the necessary features.

IBM DataPower Gateway deployed in Cloud Pak for Integration is a containerized version that supports modular configurations.

Administrators can enable or disable add-on modules to optimize resource utilization and security.

Some of these modules include:

API Gateway

XML Processing

MQ Connectivity

Security Policies

Why Option B is Correct:This flexibility helps in reducing overhead and ensuring that only the necessary capabilities are deployed.

A. Only the datapower-cp4i image can be deployed. → Incorrect

While datapower-cp4i is the primary image used within Cloud Pak for Integration, other variations of DataPower can also be deployed outside CP4I (e.g., standalone DataPower Gateway).

C. This image deployment brings all the functionality of DataPower as it runs with root permissions. → Incorrect

The DataPower container runs as a non-root user for security reasons.

Not all functionalities available in the bare-metal or VM-based DataPower appliance are enabled by default in the containerized version.

D. The datapower-cp4i image will be downloaded from the dockerhub enterprise account of IBM. → Incorrect

IBM does not use DockerHub for distributing CP4I container images.

Instead, DataPower images are pulled from the IBM Entitled Registry (cp.icr.io), which requires an IBM Entitlement Key for access.
