Read the first 6 Architecture Design & Integration flashcards as text

  1. An architect is designing a globally distributed application that requires automatic failover and the ability to route traffic based on user proximity. Which Azure service provides DNS-based global traffic routing?

    Answer: Azure Traffic Manager

    Azure Traffic Manager uses DNS-based routing to direct traffic using policies like performance, priority, or geographic routing for global failover.

  2. A microservices application on Azure Kubernetes Service requires service-to-service communication with automatic retry, circuit breaking, and mutual TLS. Which pattern should the architect implement?

    Answer: Service Mesh pattern

    A Service Mesh like Istio or Open Service Mesh provides automatic retry, circuit breaking, and mTLS for service-to-service communication in AKS.

  3. When architecting a solution using Azure Service Fabric, which programming model allows you to build stateful microservices that persist state within the service itself without an external database?

    Answer: Reliable Services

    Reliable Services in Azure Service Fabric allows developers to build stateful services using Reliable Collections that persist state within the service.

  4. A company needs to deploy a containerized application that automatically scales and does not require managing underlying infrastructure. Which Azure service should the architect recommend?

    Answer: Azure Container Apps

    Azure Container Apps is a fully managed serverless container service that scales automatically without requiring infrastructure management.

  5. An architect needs to design a solution where Azure Functions are triggered by HTTP requests and must maintain state across multiple function calls within a long-running workflow. Which feature should be used?

    Answer: Durable Functions

    Durable Functions extends Azure Functions to write stateful workflows using orchestrator functions that maintain state across multiple activity calls.

  6. A solution requires processing real-time streaming data from IoT devices and running complex event processing with sub-second latency. Which Azure service is designed for this scenario?

    Answer: Azure Stream Analytics

    Azure Stream Analytics is a real-time analytics service designed for complex event processing of streaming data with sub-second latency using SQL-like queries.
