- Q1What is the primary objective of system integration?To limit scalability optionsTo enable seamless communication between disparate systemsTo create siloed data environmentsTo increase hardware costs30s
- Q2Which of the following best defines system architecture?The process of connecting computers to a networkThe installation of operating systems on serversThe physical layout of computer componentsThe design of a software system's structure and behavior30s
- Q3What is the role of middleware in system integration?It serves as a physical layer for hardware components.It is primarily responsible for user interface design.It facilitates communication and data exchange between different systems.It regulates user access to software applications.30s
- Q4Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) are primarily concerned with:Marketing products and services to customersDesigning solutions for common integration challengesManaging financial resources within an organizationOptimizing supply chain logistics30s
- Q5Which of the following is a benefit of adopting Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)?Limited interoperability with other systemsReusability and flexibility of componentsTight coupling between servicesDifficulty in scaling systems30s
- Q6What are some common challenges organizations face in system integration?Limited availability of middleware solutionsLack of security concernsIncompatibility with legacy systemsData interoperability and compatibility issues30s
- Q7What is the primary advantage of using microservices architecture?Improved scalability and fault isolationLimited flexibility in technology stackCentralized management of monolithic applicationsEase of deployment due to fewer components30s
- Q8Which of the following best describes serverless computing?Utilizing virtual machines to deploy and manage applicationsDeploying code in stateless compute containers managed by a cloud providerRunning applications on physical servers maintained by the organizationHosting applications on dedicated servers with fixed resources30s
- Q9Which of the following best describes serverless computing?Centralized control over event generation and consumptionLimited scalability options due to tightly coupled servicesDecoupled components that communicate through eventsReliance on synchronous communication between components30s
- Q10What role does containerization play in modern system architecture?It restricts access to certain resources within an application.It facilitates communication between different systems.It provides a centralized repository for storing data.It enables developers to package applications and dependencies into isolated containers.30s
- Q11What is the purpose of orchestration in containerized environments?It ensures secure communication between containers and external systems.It monitors the performance of containers and adjusts resource allocation accordingly.It restricts unauthorized access to sensitive data stored within containers.It automates the deployment and management of containers across a cluster of servers.30s
- Q12How does DevOps contribute to system integration and architecture?By emphasizing manual deployment processes to maintain control over the environment.By promoting collaboration between development and operations teams to automate processes and improve efficiency.By restricting access to production environments to minimize risks.By prioritizing siloed workflows and limiting communication between teams.30s
- Q13What is the main advantage of using RESTful APIs for system integration?Tight coupling between servicesSimplified communication through HTTP methodsTight coupling between servicesDependency on proprietary protocols30s
- Q14How does message queuing benefit system integration?It decouples sender and receiver, allowing asynchronous communication.It introduces additional complexity to communication between systems.It restricts the types of messages that can be exchanged between systems.It ensures synchronous communication between components.30s
- Q15What is the primary purpose of API gateways in microservices architecture?To provide a centralized repository for storing microservices.To limit access to specific microservices based on user roles.To enforce strict version control of microservices.To manage and secure communication between clients and microservices.30s
