- Q1What is the primary objective of system integration?To increase hardware costsTo create siloed data environmentsTo enable seamless communication between disparate systemsTo limit scalability options30s
- Q2Which of the following best defines system architecture?The process of connecting computers to a networkThe design of a software system's structure and behaviorThe installation of operating systems on serversThe physical layout of computer components30s
- Q3What is the role of middleware in system integration?It facilitates communication and data exchange between different systems.It serves as a physical layer for hardware components.It is primarily responsible for user interface design.It regulates user access to software applications.30s
- Q4Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) are primarily concerned with:Managing financial resources within an organizationMarketing products and services to customersOptimizing supply chain logisticsDesigning solutions for common integration challenges30s
- Q5Which of the following is a benefit of adopting Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)?Difficulty in scaling systemsReusability and flexibility of componentsLimited interoperability with other systemsTight coupling between services30s
- Q6What are some common challenges organizations face in system integration?Limited availability of middleware solutionsIncompatibility with legacy systemsLack of security concernsData interoperability and compatibility issues30s
- Q7What is the primary advantage of using microservices architecture?Centralized management of monolithic applicationsImproved scalability and fault isolationEase of deployment due to fewer componentsLimited flexibility in technology stack30s
- Q8Which of the following best describes serverless computing?Hosting applications on dedicated servers with fixed resourcesDeploying code in stateless compute containers managed by a cloud providerUtilizing virtual machines to deploy and manage applicationsRunning applications on physical servers maintained by the organization30s
- Q9Which of the following best describes serverless computing?Decoupled components that communicate through eventsCentralized control over event generation and consumptionReliance on synchronous communication between componentsLimited scalability options due to tightly coupled services30s
- Q10What role does containerization play in modern system architecture?It facilitates communication between different systems.It restricts access to certain resources within an application.It enables developers to package applications and dependencies into isolated containers.It provides a centralized repository for storing data.30s
- Q11What is the purpose of orchestration in containerized environments?It automates the deployment and management of containers across a cluster of servers.It restricts unauthorized access to sensitive data stored within containers.It ensures secure communication between containers and external systems.It monitors the performance of containers and adjusts resource allocation accordingly.30s
- Q12How does DevOps contribute to system integration and architecture?By promoting collaboration between development and operations teams to automate processes and improve efficiency.By emphasizing manual deployment processes to maintain control over the environment.By prioritizing siloed workflows and limiting communication between teams.By restricting access to production environments to minimize risks.30s
- Q13What is the main advantage of using RESTful APIs for system integration?Dependency on proprietary protocolsTight coupling between servicesSimplified communication through HTTP methodsTight coupling between services30s
- Q14How does message queuing benefit system integration?It restricts the types of messages that can be exchanged between systems.It decouples sender and receiver, allowing asynchronous communication.It introduces additional complexity to communication between systems.It ensures synchronous communication between components.30s
- Q15What is the primary purpose of API gateways in microservices architecture?To limit access to specific microservices based on user roles.To manage and secure communication between clients and microservices.To enforce strict version control of microservices.To provide a centralized repository for storing microservices.30s
