Pass the IBM Cloud Native Java with Liberty 2023 Exam on Your First Attempt with Real IBM C9004800 Exam Questions and Answers!

To achieve the IBM Certified Developer - Cloud Native Java with IBM Liberty 2023 credential, candidates should master applied knowledge and practical skills in the following areas. SPOTO's question bank aligns precisely with these topics, offering scenario-based questions and performance labs to mirror real exam conditions.

Section 1: Liberty Concepts (8%)
Understand the architecture and runtime components of IBM Liberty 2023. Topics include Liberty server configuration files (server.xml), Liberty feature groups, XML versus Java-based configuration, Liberty's modular feature loading, and how Liberty differs from traditional application servers. Candidates should know how to structure Liberty projects, enable or disable features dynamically, and optimize server.xml for cloud deployments.

Section 2: Concepts of Cloud-Native Java and Microservices (7%)
Grasp the principles of cloud-native architecture, including twelve-factor app methodology, designing loosely coupled microservices, and leveraging MicroProfile standards (Config, Fault Tolerance, Health Checks). Understand API-first design, service discovery, and decentralized data management. 

Section 3: Developer Experience and Tools (8%)
Familiarity with Liberty development tools:

• Using Maven or Gradle for Liberty project builds

• Liberty Dev mode for rapid iterative development

• Configuring VS Code or IntelliJ IDEA with Liberty extensions for hot-reload

• Generating Docker images using Liberty's Docker buildpack or manually writing Dockerfiles

• Employing IBM Cloud Tools CLI (ibmcloud CLI) and Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) for deploying Liberty applications
  Practice questions simulate typical developer workflows: setting up a Liberty project scaffold with Maven archetypes, troubleshooting build-time errors, and configuring debug ports for remote debugging.

Section 4: Develop Cloud-Native Java Microservices (25%)
The most substantial domain emphasizes hands-on development of RESTful microservices using MicroProfile and Jakarta EE APIs in Liberty:

• Implementing JAX-RS endpoints with JSON binding

• Creating CDI beans for dependency injection and service layers

• Applying MicroProfile OpenAPI to generate API documentation

• Handling asynchronous processing with MicroProfile Reactive Messaging

• Designing resilience patterns (bulkhead, timeout, retry) using MicroProfile Fault Tolerance

• Integrating a service mesh (such as Istio) for routing, load balancing, and security

Section 5: Data Persistence and Transactions (6%)
Focus on integrating Liberty microservices with databases in the cloud:

• Configuring Liberty data sources to connect to IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, or MySQL in Kubernetes

• Using Jakarta Persistence API (JPA) with Hibernate or EclipseLink as the provider

• Managing entity lifecycle, mapping relationships (OneToOne, OneToMany), and writing JPQL queries

• Implementing transactional boundaries with JTA and Liberty's transaction manager

Section 6: Security (11%)
Covers securing REST endpoints and microservices:

• Configuring Liberty security realms (e.g., BasicRegistry, LDAPRegistry, OAuthRegistry)

• Securing endpoints with role-based access control (annotations like @RolesAllowed, @PermitAll)

• Implementing OAuth2/JWT authentication with Liberty's JWT-based Web SSO

• Applying MicroProfile JWT for token propagation between services

• Enforcing transport-level security (TLS/SSL) and securing Liberty's administrative endpoints

Section 7: Add Telemetry/Observability to Microservices (16%)
Learn to instrument microservices for metrics, tracing, and logging:

• Enabling MicroProfile Metrics to expose application metrics via /metrics endpoint

• Integrating MicroProfile OpenTracing for distributed tracing with Jaeger or Zipkin

• Configuring Liberty loggers and log levels for production readiness

• Sending logs to centralized systems (ELK stack, Splunk) in Kubernetes

• Using IBM Observability by Instana or other APM tools to visualize request flows and resource consumption

Section 8: Test Microservices (6%)
Emphasizes quality assurance for cloud-native services:

• Writing JUnit 5 tests for CDI beans and JAX-RS endpoints using Arquillian or Liberty's test harness

• Mocking dependencies with Mockito or MicroProfile-based testing frameworks

• Creating integration tests that spin up an in-memory Liberty server for endpoint verification

• Performing contract testing with tools like Pact to ensure backward-compatible API changes

Section 9: Containerize and Deploy (5%)
Covers containerization best practices and deployment workflows:

• Writing efficient Dockerfiles for Liberty applications, including multi-stage builds

• Understanding container image layers, minimizing footprint, and leveraging Liberty's thin WAR approach

• Constructing Kubernetes resource manifests (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, Secret)

• Automating deployments with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or GitHub Actions integrating with IBM Cloud

• Applying Helm charts or Operators for Liberty microservice orchestration

Section 10: Monitor and Troubleshoot (8%)
Focus on maintaining production-grade applications:

• Using Liberty's diagnostic tools: server logs, dropins, and the Admin Center for runtime inspection

• Examining thread dumps, heap dumps, and garbage collection logs to diagnose performance bottlenecks

• Configuring application-level health checks with MicroProfile Health

• Integrating Prometheus exporters to gather metrics and setting up Grafana dashboards

• Troubleshooting common issues: classloading conflicts, missing dependencies, port collisions, and network connectivity errors in Kubernetes
