What is a major challenge in managing microservices architecture?

• • Simplified data consistency

• • Increased network latency

• • Reduced communication overhead

• • Easy monitoring and orchestration

How do microservices enhance fault isolation?

• • By sharing resources among services

• • By ensuring failures in one service do not affect others

• • By centralizing all processes

• • By using a single database

What is one way to handle the complexity of managing multiple microservices?
