Given: You may use Trivy's documentation.

Task: Use the Trivy open-source container scanner to detect images with severe vulnerabilities used by Pods in the namespacenato.

Look for images withHighorCriticalseverity vulnerabilities and delete the Pods that use those images. Trivy is pre-installed on the cluster's master node. Use cluster's master node to use Trivy.

I thought we were supposed to use the worker nodes for this?

I believe the command to delete the Pods is something like `kubectl delete pod`, but I need to double-check the syntax for specifying the Pods with vulnerabilities.

I think we had a similar question in our last mock exam about deleting Pods after scanning. I hope I can recall the exact commands needed.

Okay, I'm leaning towards the Azure Standard Load Balancer with outbound rules. That should give us more control over the SNAT connections and help resolve the issue with users accessing internet resources during peak hours.

Once you switch the context to 'scanner', you can proceed with using Trivy to identify and remove Pods with critical vulnerabilities.
