Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
While there are cloud-native solutions for background task execution, this is not the primary role of a service mesh.
B.
A service mesh is specifically designed to manage the interaction and communication between different microservices, providing capabilities like load balancing, traffic routing, and security policies.
C.
Service meshes don't primarily deal with database transactions; that's usually the role of databases and ORM layers.
D.
Service meshes are not primarily used for serverless computing. Serverless is a separate paradigm in cloud-native architectures.
