Cloud-Native

What is the primary goal of a cloud-native approach?

• To reduce the number of users accessing the application.

• To restrict application deployment only to on-premise servers

• To avoid continuous delivery and integration

• To take full advantage of cloud-based services and delivery models

A cloud-native application must always run in the cloud.

• True

• False

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a monolithic application?

• Operates as a single unit

• Custom-built for specific operation systems and middleware

• Components can be independently deployed and updated

• Typically has close dependencies that are hard to change

Cloud-native services operate behind the scenes to keep applications running smoothly.

• True

• False

Which of the following best describes microservices?

• single large service that handles all application functions

• Small, lightweight services that can be composed and connected via APIs

• A methodology that avoids using APIs

• A service that cannot be integrated with cloud infrastructure

Cloud-native applications are typically built with a single, monolithic architecture.

• True

• False

What is one key advantage of containers in cloud-native applications?

• Containers provide workload portability, allowing the code to run in any environment

• Containers require specialized hardware to operate

• Containers prevent the use of microservices

• Containers can only run on on-premise servers

Containers reduce the chance of friction between languages, libraries, and frameworks.

• True

• False

What is the main benefit of DevOps in cloud-native application development?

• Separating the development and IT teams for efficiency

• Using only traditional testing methodologies

• Limiting communication between development and operations teams

• Shifting to agile delivery and automating infrastructure processes

Cloud native and cloud refer to the same concept, with no distinctions.

• True

• False
