Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 436 discussion

The correct answers are: C. Improved scalability of the system D. Increased compartmentalization of the system Explanation: C. Improved scalability of the system: Microservices allow individual components to be scaled independently, providing better flexibility and resource optimization compared to scaling an entire monolithic system. D. Increased compartmentalization of the system: Microservices are designed to break down a system into smaller, independent services, improving modularity and making it easier to isolate and manage components. Other Options: A. Easier debugging of the system: Debugging can be more complex in microservices due to the distributed nature of the architecture. B. Reduced cost of ownership of the system: While microservices provide flexibility, they can increase operational costs due to the need for managing multiple services and infrastructure.

Being a software developer I can assure that it is way much easier to debug the code in a microservice architecture rather than in monolith big chunk of code. It seriously makes our lives much more easier and increases efficiency. Debugging is part of daily work of a software developer... so will opt for AC instead of CD. Option D (Increased compartmentalization of the system) isn't going to be my choice because there is no such thing as system compartmentalization (Atleast I haven't heard in SD domain). With all due respect, the explanations I am reading here are just a try to fix the context of multiple services into the wording of option D.

C. Improved scalability of the system: Microservices allow individual components of an application to be scaled independently. This is more efficient than scaling an entire monolithic application, as you can allocate resources specifically to the components that need them. D. Increased compartmentalization of the system: Microservices break down the system into smaller, independent services. Each service is self-contained and performs a specific function, making it easier to isolate and manage parts of the system.
