Architecture 2

Which of the following best describes a monolithic architecture?

• All components of the application are tightly integrated into a single unit

• The system consists of loosely coupled independent services

• The system only uses cloud-based components

• Each module runs on a different server independently

What is a major advantage of a microservices-based architecture?

• Scalability and flexibility in development and deployment

• All services must use the same programming language

• It eliminates the need for databases

• It removes the requirement for security measures

What is the main function of a load balancer in system architecture?

• To distribute traffic across multiple servers to ensure availability

• To store and manage user authentication data

• To execute business logic in the application

• To generate reports from database queries

Which database model is most suitable for handling large amounts of unstructured data?

• NoSQL

• Relational databases (SQL)

• In-memory databases

• File-based storage systems

What is an essential characteristic of cloud computing architecture?

• Resources are scalable and provided on-demand

• All applications run on local servers only

• Data is stored only on physical disks

• Internet access is not required

Which component in a three-tier architecture handles business logic?

• Application layer

• Presentation layer

• Data layer

• Network layer

What is the main difference between x86 and ARM architectures?

• ARM uses CISC, while x86 uses RISC

• x86 uses CISC, while ARM uses RISC

• x86 and ARM both use CISC

• ARM and x86 are the same architecture

What type of instructions does the ARM architecture primarily use?

• CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing)

• RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing)

• VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word)

• SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data)

Which of these processors is based on the x86 architecture?

• Apple M1

• Qualcomm Snapdragon

• Intel Core i7

• ARM Cortex-A78

Why do ARM processors generally consume less power than x86 processors?

• They use more powerful transistors

• They operate at a higher clock speed

• They have more cores

• They use a RISC architecture with simplified instructions
