Cloud Native Development on Azure with Java 1.2: Introduction

The video tutorial introduces cloud native applications, explaining their architecture and benefits. It outlines the steps for cloud adoption, including lift and shift, and explores platform services and serverless architecture. The tutorial highlights the advantages of cloud native design, such as scalability and business agility, and introduces the 12 factor app methodology for building SaaS applications.

What is a key characteristic of cloud native applications?

• They require manual scaling for global audiences.

• They are not suitable for 24/7 operations.

• They are designed to run on local servers only.

• They leverage IaaS and PaaS for scalability and reliability.

What does the 'lift and shift' strategy involve?

• Migrating applications to the cloud without redesign.

• Building new applications from scratch.

• Developing applications for on-premises deployment.

• Shifting from operational to capital expenditure models.

Which of the following is a benefit of using PaaS?

• Limited scalability options.

• Complete control over hardware configurations.

• Reduced need for managing infrastructure.

• Increased capital expenditure.

What is a defining feature of serverless computing?

• Applications are monolithic and tightly coupled.

• Functions operate independently and communicate asynchronously.

• Requires extensive server management.

• Limited to small-scale applications.

Why should companies consider cloud native application development?

• To increase maintenance workload.

• To limit application scalability.

• To achieve faster market delivery and agility.

• To focus on infrastructure management.

What is the 12-factor app methodology designed for?

• Designing applications with limited deployment options.

• Developing applications that are tightly coupled with specific languages.

• Creating software as a service apps with agility and scalability.

• Building applications with a focus on hardware dependencies.

Which of the following is NOT a principle of the 12-factor app?

• Clean contract with the operating system.

• Continuous deployment capability.

• Dependence on specific backend services.

• Independence from programming languages.
