Written + Lab + Interview

Huawei HCIE program

The HCIE-Cloud Computing written exam (H13-531 V3.0) contains 60 mixed-format items in 90 minutes with a 600/1000 passing score. Container and Container Orchestration (33%) and HUAWEI CLOUD Stack Security Service (21%) dominate the blueprint. This bank covers the WRITTEN stage only - HCIE-Cloud also requires a lab (H13-536) and an interview to award the full certificate.

1In a Kubernetes cluster managed by Huawei Cloud Container Engine (CCE), which component is responsible for watching the API server for newly created pods that have no node assigned and selecting a node for them to run on?
A.kubelet
B.kube-proxy
C.kube-scheduler
D.kube-controller-manager
Explanation: kube-scheduler watches the API server for unscheduled pods (pods without a nodeName) and binds each pod to the most suitable node based on resource requests, taints, tolerations, affinity rules, and other scheduling predicates. CCE clusters run a managed kube-scheduler in the master plane.
2A CCE Turbo cluster uses Cloud Native Network 2.0. What is the primary networking advantage of CCE Turbo over a CCE standard cluster using the VPC overlay tunnel network?
A.Pods receive IP addresses from the VPC subnet directly, allowing native VPC routing without overlay encapsulation
B.Pods always use host networking, eliminating the need for any CNI plugin
C.Pods communicate exclusively through a service mesh sidecar
D.Pods get IPv6 addresses from a dedicated underlay only
Explanation: CCE Turbo Cloud Native Network 2.0 attaches each pod to an elastic network interface (ENI or sub-ENI) so the pod IP comes directly from the VPC subnet. Traffic is routed natively in the VPC without VXLAN overlay encapsulation, which reduces latency and enables security groups and ELB to target pods directly.
3Which Kubernetes object is the appropriate primitive for running a stateful database pod that requires stable network identity and stable persistent storage in CCE?
A.Deployment
B.DaemonSet
C.StatefulSet
D.Job
Explanation: StatefulSet provides ordered, stable pod identifiers (pod-0, pod-1, ...), stable DNS hostnames through a headless Service, and persistent volume claims that follow the pod across rescheduling. CCE uses StatefulSet for databases, Kafka, ZooKeeper, and similar workloads that need stable identity.
4In a CCE cluster, you need pods to mount the same shared file system across multiple nodes simultaneously for read and write. Which Huawei Cloud storage backend and PV access mode is appropriate?
A.EVS volume with ReadWriteOnce
B.SFS Turbo with ReadWriteMany
C.OBS bucket mounted as ReadOnlyMany only
D.Local PV with ReadWriteOnce
Explanation: Scalable File Service (SFS Turbo) is Huawei Cloud's NFS-based shared file service and supports ReadWriteMany so multiple pods on different nodes can mount the same volume read/write simultaneously. CCE integrates SFS Turbo through the everest CSI driver.
5A pod in CCE keeps being killed and restarted. The events show OOMKilled. Which pod spec field most directly controls when the kernel will OOM-kill the container?
A.resources.requests.memory
B.resources.limits.memory
C.spec.priority
D.livenessProbe.periodSeconds
Explanation: resources.limits.memory sets the cgroup memory hard limit. When a container's RSS exceeds this limit, the Linux kernel OOM-killer terminates the container, which kubelet records as OOMKilled. Tuning or raising the memory limit (or fixing the leak) resolves the symptom.
6You need to expose a CCE-hosted web service to the public internet with Layer 7 routing, host-based virtual hosts, and TLS termination. Which Kubernetes resource, integrated with Huawei Cloud, is the canonical choice?
A.NodePort Service
B.ClusterIP Service
C.Ingress backed by ELB
D.Headless Service
Explanation: In CCE, an Ingress object is implemented by the ELB Ingress Controller, which provisions an Elastic Load Balance (ELB) listener that performs Layer 7 routing by host and path and can terminate TLS. This is the canonical pattern for public HTTPS with virtual hosts.
7In Kubernetes, a HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) targets a Deployment and scales based on CPU utilization. Which prerequisite must be met for the HPA to compute pod CPU utilization correctly?
A.The pods must define resources.requests.cpu
B.The cluster must run in privileged mode
C.The Deployment must use hostNetwork
D.The pods must be in the kube-system namespace
Explanation: HPA computes CPU utilization as the ratio of actual CPU usage to the pod's CPU request. If resources.requests.cpu is not set, the metrics-server cannot calculate a utilization percentage and the HPA will fail to scale on the cpu metric.
8Which container runtime is the default for new CCE clusters since Kubernetes deprecated dockershim, and what interface does it implement?
A.Docker Engine implementing Moby API
B.containerd implementing the Container Runtime Interface (CRI)
C.CRI-O implementing the Open Container Initiative only
D.rkt implementing the App Container spec
Explanation: After dockershim removal in Kubernetes 1.24, CCE adopted containerd as the default runtime. containerd talks to kubelet through the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) and runs OCI-compliant container images via runc.
9You want pods to obtain temporary, scoped credentials for accessing OBS without storing access keys in the container image. Which CCE-integrated mechanism achieves this?
A.Hard-coded AK/SK in a ConfigMap
B.Agency (delegation) bound to the worker node and used through the Instance Metadata Service
C.Static Secret containing root account credentials
D.Enabling hostPID and reading /proc
Explanation: Huawei Cloud agencies (cloud service delegations) bound to ECS instances let workloads retrieve temporary AK/SK and security tokens via the Instance Metadata Service. CCE worker nodes can use this so pods avoid hard-coded credentials, similar to AWS instance profiles.
10In Kubernetes, which two fields together determine the QoS class assigned to a pod, given the rules used by kubelet?
A.containers requests and limits across CPU and memory
B.spec.priority and spec.preemptionPolicy
C.spec.nodeSelector and spec.tolerations
D.metadata.labels and metadata.annotations
Explanation: Kubelet derives QoS class from each container's resources.requests and resources.limits. If every container has equal requests and limits for both CPU and memory, the pod is Guaranteed. If at least one container has requests, it is Burstable. If no requests or limits are set, it is BestEffort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HCIE-Cloud Computing exam format?

HCIE-Cloud Computing has three stages: written (H13-531 V3.0), lab (H13-536), and interview. The written exam is 60 mixed-format items in 90 minutes with a 600/1000 passing score, delivered by Pearson VUE.

Does this practice bank cover the lab and interview?

No. This bank focuses on the WRITTEN stage (H13-531). Candidates must still pass the lab exam (H13-536) and the interview to earn the full HCIE-Cloud Computing certificate.

What are the H13-531 V3.0 topic weights?

Container and Container Orchestration is 33%, Huawei Cloud Stack Security Service 21%, Planning and Design 12%, Deployment 7%, Scale-out 7%, Maintenance 7%, Migration 7%, Solution 3%, and DR/Backup 3%.

How much does the HCIE-Cloud Computing exam cost?

The H13-531 written exam is $300 USD. The H13-536 lab exam is $1,200 USD. The interview is scheduled separately by Huawei.

How long do I have to complete the lab after passing the written?

Candidates must pass the H13-536 lab exam within 18 months of passing the H13-531 written exam, or the written result expires.

What is the difference between HCIP-Cloud Computing and HCIE-Cloud Computing?

HCIP-Cloud Computing is Huawei's professional-level credential focused on FusionCompute and core cloud knowledge. HCIE-Cloud Computing is the expert-level credential focused on Huawei Cloud Stack, requires a written, lab, and interview, and assumes deeper architecture and Kubernetes experience.
