0Derek has been asked to implement his organization's service-oriented architecture as a set of microservices. What does he need to implement?
Answer Options
A
A set of loosely coupled services with specific purposes
B
A set of services that run on very small systems
C
A set of tightly coupled services with custom-designed protocols to ensure continuous operation
D
A set of services using third-party applications in a connected network enabled with industry standard protocols
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
A microservice architecture builds applications as a set of loosely coupled services that provide specific functions using lightweight protocols. It doesn't specifically define the size of the systems, but it is not a tightly coupled environment. Protocol choice is often open standards–based, but the emphasis is on lightweight protocols. There is not a requirement that services be in-house or third party exclusively.
