A directory contains the files `10-ssl.conf`, `20-cache.conf`, and `05-gzip.conf`. If an `include` directive matches all three, in what order will NGINX process them?

`05-gzip.conf`, `20-cache.conf`, `10-ssl.conf`

`20-cache.conf`, `10-ssl.conf`, `05-gzip.conf`

`05-gzip.conf`, `10-ssl.conf`, `20-cache.conf`

`10-ssl.conf`, `20-cache.conf`, `05-gzip.conf`

An administrator has two included files in the http context: a.conf contains 'gzip on;' and b.conf contains 'gzip off;'. The include directive in nginx.conf is 'include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;'. What will be the effective value of the gzip directive?

The configuration will fail to load because of duplicate directives.

off, because b.conf is processed after a.conf and overrides it.

on, because the first file processed takes precedence.

Both values will be applied, with 'on' for some requests and 'off' for others.

An administrator has a directory /etc/nginx/conf.d/ with files: a.conf and b.conf. a.conf contains 'gzip on;' and b.conf contains 'gzip off;'. The main nginx.conf includes 'include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;' in the http block. After reloading, the administrator checks the effective configuration and finds that gzip is off. What is the most likely reason?

The configuration is invalid because gzip is defined twice.

b.conf is processed after a.conf, so its 'gzip off;' overrides the 'gzip on;'.

a.conf is processed after b.conf, so its 'gzip on;' is overridden.

The http block has a default of 'gzip off;' that overrides the included files.

When NGINX processes an `include` directive that matches multiple files in a directory (e.g., `include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;`), in what order are the files processed?

In the order they were created.

In the order they were last modified.

In alphabetical order of their filenames.

An NGINX configuration file contains the directive `include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;`. What is the primary effect of this directive?

It inserts the contents of all matched files at the location of the directive.

It replaces the current configuration with the contents of the matched files.

It only works if the matched files contain `server` blocks.

It loads the matched files into a separate namespace that is only used for validation.
