C0006620 IBM Certified Administrator – Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management v1.3 PLUS Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration Practice Exam
Exam Number: 4350 | Last updated April 17, 2026 | 366+ questions across 5 vendor-aligned objectives
Platform administrators who still operate Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management v1.3 in production — typically in conservative enterprises that haven’t yet upgraded — target the C0006620 bundle. The credential pairs the v1.3 Administrator track with Red Hat Specialist in OpenShift Administration. Candidates should be comfortable with the v1.3-era hub architecture, its Helm-based app delivery model, and the OpenShift administration skills that surround it.
Posting 26% of the exam, Hub Installation and Configuration covers v1.3 installer workflow, storage provisioning, identity integration, and certificate handling. At 22%, Managed-Cluster Onboarding covers cluster import, the v1.3 cluster-pool feature set, and credential management. A further 20% targets v1.3 Policy and Governance, covering placement rules, policy sets, and the v1.3-specific compliance scanning capabilities.
Grouting the rest of the blueprint, Application Lifecycle accounts for 18% and spans subscription channels, Helm deployment, and the v1.3 application topology view. OpenShift Administration represents 14% and spans cluster upgrades, operators, and day-two tasks. Because v1.3 predates many later improvements, candidates should avoid answering from muscle memory built on v2.x docs — several answers that look right now are actually anachronistic.

10 of 366+ questions
Question #1 - Hub Installation and Configuration
A CP4MCM v1.3 admin at Cottingfield Bank is installing the hub for the first time.
Which v1.3 install pattern fits?
A) Apply raw YAML without following the v1.3 installer workflow
B) Use the v1.3 installer workflow to provision the hub on OpenShift, configure storage per the v1.3 sizing guide, and integrate identity via the documented options
C) Install the hub on a developer laptop
D) Skip installation and point the hub at a cluster that does not exist
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
The v1.3 installer workflow plus storage plus identity is the v1.3 hub-install reference. Raw YAML, laptops, and fictional targets all fail the path. Source: Check Source
Question #2 - Hub Installation and Configuration
A CP4MCM v1.3 deployment at Harrowbrook Insurance needs TLS for hub ingress.
Which v1.3 admin practice fits?
A) Copy certificates from a random internet source
B) Use a self-signed certificate in production and never rotate
C) Run the hub over plain HTTP
D) Provision certificates per the v1.3 certificate-handling guide and configure ingress for the hub to use them, rotating certs on schedule
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
v1.3 cert provisioning plus scheduled rotation is the admin reference. Self-signed prod, HTTP, and random certs all fail TLS posture. Source: Check Source
Question #3 - Managed-Cluster Onboarding
A v1.3 admin at Marcheford Retail needs to import an existing cluster into the hub.
Which CP4MCM v1.3 managed-cluster import approach brings the existing cluster into the hub?
A) Share a single credential across every managed cluster
B) Skip the klusterlet and point the hub at the cluster’s API only
C) Manually copy Kubernetes resources from the cluster to the hub
D) Use the v1.3 import flow to install the klusterlet on the target cluster, which then registers with the hub and begins receiving propagated content
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
v1.3 klusterlet-based import is the managed-cluster onboarding reference. Endpoint-only integration, manual copying, and shared credentials all fail the path. Source: Check Source
Question #4 - Managed-Cluster Onboarding
A v1.3 admin at Birkswick Utilities wants dev teams to self-serve short-lived clusters.
Which v1.3 cluster-pool feature fits?
A) Block cluster requests entirely
B) Build each short-lived cluster manually on demand and forget to delete it
C) Pre-provision clusters in a v1.3 cluster pool so developers can claim a cluster for short projects and release it back to the pool when finished
D) Keep every short-lived cluster forever and pay for it
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
v1.3 cluster pools with claim/release is the reference. Manual on-demand, blanket blocks, and immortal clusters all fail the feature. Source: Check Source
Question #5 - v1.3 Policy and Governance
A v1.3 governance requirement at Heathmarch Financial must ensure clusters meet a baseline resource-limit standard.
Which v1.3 mechanism fits?
A) Define a v1.3 policy set with the resource-limit standard, use placement rules to target the managed clusters, and run the v1.3 compliance scan to validate
B) Manually audit each cluster monthly
C) Trust each cluster’s owner to self-enforce
D) Disable governance entirely
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
v1.3 policy sets plus placement plus compliance scan is the v1.3 governance reference. Manual audits, self-enforcement, and disabled governance all fail the requirement. Source: Check Source
Question #6 - v1.3 Policy and Governance
A v1.3 governance admin at Clovenhill Bank wants to roll out a new policy only to production clusters.
Which CP4MCM v1.3 placement-rule feature rolls out the new policy only to production clusters?
A) Apply the policy to every cluster and hope dev is unaffected
B) Use placement rules scoped by label (e.g., env=prod) so the policy is applied only to matching managed clusters, leaving dev and stage untouched
C) Email the policy for each team to apply themselves
D) Skip the policy entirely
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Label-scoped placement rules is the v1.3 reference. Broad application, email workflows, and skipping all fail targeted governance. Source: Check Source
Question #7 - v1.3 Policy and Governance
A compliance gap at Winter Harbour Capital shows a managed cluster missing required network policies.
Which v1.3 remediation approach fits?
A) Log the gap and ignore it
B) Configure the v1.3 policy to enforce rather than only inform, so the network policies are created on the managed cluster and the compliance scan confirms remediation
C) Delete the managed cluster as punishment
D) Reinstall the hub to ‘fix’ the gap
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
v1.3 policy enforcement with scan-confirmed remediation is the reference. Ignoring, deletion, and reinstall-as-fix all fail remediation practice. Source: Check Source
Question #8 - Application Lifecycle
An application-delivery task at Treymoor Bank must propagate a new application version to ten managed clusters uniformly.
Which CP4MCM v1.3 application-delivery feature propagates the new application version uniformly?
A) Email the manifests to each cluster’s team for manual apply
B) Deploy to each cluster by hand from the lead engineer’s laptop
C) Publish the application to a v1.3 channel (Git or Helm) and use subscriptions plus placement rules to deliver it to the matching managed clusters
D) Skip deployment and hope existing versions stay correct
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Channels plus subscriptions plus placement is the v1.3 application-lifecycle reference. Laptop, email, and no-deployment all miss the pattern. Source: Check Source
Question #9 - Application Lifecycle
A v1.3 application-topology view at Ashbrook Energy needs to show the application’s resources across clusters.
Which CP4MCM v1.3 application-topology capability renders the subscription’s resources across clusters?
A) Use the v1.3 application-topology view, which renders the subscription’s resources and status across the clusters where the subscription has been placed
B) Run kubectl manually in each cluster and compare output in a spreadsheet
C) Rely on email reports from cluster owners
D) Skip the topology view
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
v1.3 application-topology view is the reference. Manual kubectl, email reports, and skipping all fail the topology need. Source: Check Source
Question #10 - OpenShift Administration
A managed OpenShift cluster at Kelvinwood Insurance must be upgraded with a controlled cadence.
Which CP4MCM v1.3 OpenShift upgrade practice maintains a controlled cadence for the managed cluster?
A) Choose the appropriate upgrade channel (e.g., stable-4.x), review release notes, and run the upgrade during a maintenance window after verifying operator compatibility
B) Upgrade at random times without release-note review
C) Never upgrade to avoid change
D) Upgrade by deleting and reinstalling the cluster
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
Channel plus release notes plus maintenance window is the OpenShift admin reference. Random upgrades, no-upgrade, and delete-reinstall all fail admin practice. Source: Check Source
