Question 1

Refer to Exhibit.

The Client and Vendor services are agnostic services that are both currently part of multiple service compositions. As a result, these services are sometimes subjected to concurrent access by multiple service consumers.

The Client service primarily provides data access logic to a client database but also coordinates with other services to determine a clients credit rating. The Vendor service provides some data access logic but can also generate various dynamic reports based on specialized business requirements.

After reviewing historical statistics about the runtime activity of the two services, it is discovered that the Client service is serving an ever-increasing number of service consumers. It is regularly timing out, which in turn increases its call rate as service consumers retry their requests. The Vendor service occasionally has difficulty meeting its service-level agreement (SLA) and when this occurs, penalties are assessed.

Recently, the custodian of the Client service was notified that the Client service will be made available to new service consumers external to its service inventory. The Client service will be providing free credit rating scores to any service consumer that connects to the service via the Internet. The Vendor service will remain internal to the service inventory and will not be exposed to external access.

Which of the following statements describes a solution that addresses these issues and requirements?

AThe API Gateway pattern, together with the Inventory Endpoint pattern, can be applied to the service inventory to establish an inventory endpoint service and an intermediary layer of processing that will be accessed by external service consumers and that will interact with the Client service to process external service consumer requests. The Redundant Implementation pattern can be applied to both the Client and Vendor services to increase their availability and scalability.

BThe Official Endpoint pattern can be applied to the Client service to establish a managed endpoint for consumption by service consumers external to the service inventory. The Concurrent Contracts pattern can be applied to the Vendor service, enabling it to connect with alternative Client service implementation, should the first attempt to connect fail.

CThe State Repository pattern can be applied to the Client and Vendor services to establish a central statement management database that can be used to overcome runtime performance problems. The Official Endpoint pattern can be further applied to increase the availability and scalability of the Client service for service consumers external to the service inventory.

DThe Microservice Deployment pattern is applied to the Client service to improve its autonomy and
responsiveness to a greater range of service consumers. The Containerization pattern is applied to the Vendor service to establish a managed environment with a high degree of isolation for its report-related processing. The Endpoint Redirection pattern is further applied to ensure that request messages from service consumers outside of the service inventory are redirected away from the Client service.

Answer : A

This solution addresses the specific requirements and issues identified in the scenario. The Official Endpoint pattern can be applied to the Client service to establish a managed endpoint for consumption by service consumers external to the service inventory, which will allow for controlled and managed access to the service. The Concurrent Contracts pattern can be applied to the Vendor service, which will enable it to connect with alternative Client service implementation if the first attempt to connect fails, thereby increasing its availability and reducing the possibility of penalties being assessed due to not meeting its SLA.
