Fault Tolerance and Resilience Quiz

What is the primary focus of fault tolerance in system architecture?

• Preventing failures

• Adapting to failures

• Monitoring system health

• Ignoring minor issues

What does resilience in architecture mainly focus on?

• Preventing system failures

• Adapting and recovering from failures

• Replicating critical components

• Increasing system speed

Which technique distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers to improve resilience?

• Redundancy

• Load balancing

• Failover

• Modular design

What is a Single Point of Failure (SPOF)?

• A component whose failure can lead to system failure

• A type of automated recovery system

• A component designed to improve system speed

• A load balancing mechanism

Which mechanism allows a system to switch to backup resources during a failure?

• Load balancing

• Failover

• Redundancy

• Graceful degradation

Which of the following is NOT a type of failure in systems?

• Hardware failure

• Financial failure

• Software failure

• Human error

In resilient system architecture, modular design allows for:

• Faster processing speeds

• Easier upgrades without affecting the entire system

• Increased security against attacks

• Increased cost efficiency

What is the primary goal of high-availability architectures?

• Continuous uptime

• Lower operating costs

• Increased system complexity

• Higher energy efficiency

Which of the following is critical for protecting system integrity in fault-tolerant architectures?

• Security measures

• Load balancing

• Redundant design

• Automated recovery

Which platform uses redundancy and load balancing for resilience?

• Financial trading platforms

• Google Search

• Amazon Web Services (AWS)

• Social media platforms
