You have a kustomization that includes a Deployment and a Service. You need to add the label 'tier: frontend' to both resources. You also need to ensure that the label is added to the selector of the Service. What is the best way to achieve this?

Add commonLabels to the kustomization.yaml.

Add the label to the namespace only.

Use a strategic merge patch to add the label to each resource.

Add the label manually to the Deployment and Service YAML files.

You have a configuration file 'app.properties' that contains key-value pairs. You want to create a ConfigMap from this file using Kustomize, and then deploy it along with your other resources. What should you add to your kustomization.yaml?

A secretGenerator entry that references 'app.properties' as a file.

A configMapGenerator entry that references 'app.properties' as a file.

A resources entry that lists 'app.properties' as a resource.

A patch that adds the ConfigMap to the Deployment's volumes.

What is the purpose of the 'secretGenerator' field in kustomization.yaml?

To store Secrets in a secure vault

To generate Secret resources from files, literals, or env files

To encrypt existing Secrets in the cluster

To list all Secrets in the cluster
