Intro to Azure Containers & Microservices

What is the primary purpose of containerization in software development?

• To store large amounts of data

• To package and deploy applications consistently

• To create virtual machines

Which Azure service is used for managing containerized applications using Kubernetes?

• Azure Container Registry (ACR)

• Azure Container Instances (ACI)

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

What is the role of Docker in the context of containers?

• Container orchestration

• Container runtime and packaging

• Container networking

In microservices architecture, what does each microservice typically represent?

• A small, independent piece of the application

• The entire application

• A specific database schema

What is the main advantage of microservices architecture in terms of scalability?

• Centralized scaling for the entire application

• Independent scaling of individual components

• No need for scalability in microservices

Which Azure service is suitable for quick and simple container deployments without managing the underlying infrastructure?

• Azure Container Registry (ACR)

• Azure Container Instances (ACI)

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

What does CI/CD stand for in the context of deploying applications with Azure containers?

• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment

• Container Isolation/Container Deployment

• Centralized Infrastructure/Container Deployment

How does containerization contribute to portability in software development?

• Containers can only run on Windows servers

• Containers can run consistently across different environments

• Containers are limited to specific cloud providers

What is the purpose of Azure Container Registry (ACR) in container-based workflows?

• To manage and orchestrate containers

• To store and manage container images

• To deploy container instances

Which networking concept is crucial in the context of containers and microservices?

• Virtual Private Network (VPN)

• Azure Active Directory

• Microservices Communication and Network Policies
