Learning Akka (Video 19)

The video tutorial covers Akka remoting, explaining its configuration and implementation. It starts with an introduction to Akka remoting, followed by detailed steps to configure it. The tutorial then demonstrates creating and running a remote actor system. It explores two types of remote interactions: lookup and creation, providing examples for each. The video concludes with a brief mention of Akka clustering, setting the stage for the next tutorial.

What is the primary purpose of Akka Remoting?

• To manage local actor systems

• To facilitate communication between distributed actor systems

• To enhance the performance of a single node

• To provide a user interface for actor systems

Which configuration change is necessary to enable Akka Remoting?

• Add HTTP to the enabled transports list

• Change the provider to akka.actor.local.ActorRefProvider

• Change the provider to akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider

• Remove TCP from the enabled transports list

What is the role of TCP in Akka Remoting configuration?

• To disable remote communication

• To enable secure communication

• To be added to the enabled transports list

• To replace the default provider

In Akka Remoting, what is the purpose of the 'lookup' interaction?

• To create a new actor on a remote node

• To update an actor on a remote node

• To find an actor on a remote node

• To delete an actor on a remote node

How does the 'creation' interaction differ from 'lookup' in Akka Remoting?

• Both are used to create actors on remote nodes

• Both are used to find actors on remote nodes

• Creation is used to create an actor, while lookup is used to find one

• Creation is used to find an actor, while lookup is used to create one

What is the first step in implementing a remote worker service actor?

• Send a message to the actor

• Create the actor using actorOf

• Configure the deployment

• Start the actor system

What is the next topic introduced after Akka Remoting in the video?

• Akka Persistence

• Akka Clustering

• Akka Streams

• Akka HTTP
