Question 16
A financial services company is transitioning from a monolithic application to a cloud-native architecture to improve scalability and deployment velocity. Which of the following practices best aligns with the cloud-native approach to application development?
-
A
Build the system using microservices that can be independently deployed and scaled
-
B
Use manual scripts to configure production servers
-
C
Deploy the application in a virtual machine with a single deployment pipeline
-
D
Use a centralized database shared across all services to simplify data access
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A.
Building with microservices that are independently deployable and scalable is central to the cloud-native approach. It supports agility, fault isolation, and CI/CD pipelines.
B.
Cloud-native emphasizes automation through infrastructure-as-code and declarative configuration, not manual server setup.
C.
Deploying in a monolithic fashion on VMs does not align with the containerization and automation principles of cloud-native design.
D.
Sharing a centralized database across all services introduces tight coupling and undermines microservices independence. Cloud-native favors loosely coupled services with independent data stores when feasible.
