What is Fog Computing primarily used for?

• Increasing cloud storage capacity

• Reducing latency by processing data closer to the edge of the network

• Replacing traditional data centers

• Enhancing the security of cloud services

Edge Computing is designed to process data:

• In a centralized data center

• Near the source of data generation

• Exclusively in the cloud

• Only on end-user devices

Microservices are:

• Large, monolithic applications that are difficult to scale

• Small, modular pieces of an application that work together

• A type of virtual machine

• A cloud storage solution

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allows you to:

• Manually set up and configure physical servers

• Automate the deployment of servers using high-level programming languages

• Increase the physical security of your data centers

• Create a physical backup of your cloud infrastructure

Serverless architecture means that:

• The servers are physically invisible

• The developers do not have to manage the servers

• There are no servers involved in the architecture

• The servers are made from lightweight materials

Virtualization allows for:

• The creation of multiple physical resources from a single virtual resource

• The creation of multiple virtual resources from a single physical resource

• Decreasing the amount of storage available

• The physical separation of network segments

A thin client is:

• A fully-featured desktop computer

• A computer that relies on the cloud for data processing

• A type of server used in microservices

• A cloud service model

Which of the following best describes the relationship between microservices and APIs?

• Microservices are a type of API

• APIs are a type of microservice

• Microservices communicate with each other using APIs

• There is no relationship between microservices and APIs
