What is the main purpose of the Microkernel Architecture?
To separate core functionality from additional services
The microkernel provides essential functions while external services run independently.
What essential functions does a microkernel provide?
- Inter-process communication (IPC)
- Memory management
- Scheduling
These functions are fundamental for system operation.
What are plug-ins in Microkernel Architecture?
Additional operations that run separately, such as file systems, network protocols, and device drivers
Plug-ins enhance the functionality of the core system.
Who interacts with the microkernel and plug-ins in Microkernel Architecture?
Clients, which are user-level processes
Clients make requests to the microkernel and its plug-ins.
What characterizes Microservice Architecture?
It is structured as independent, self-contained services that communicate via APIs
This structure enables greater flexibility and scalability.
How do microservices communicate with each other?
Via lightweight APIs
This allows for loose coupling and independent operation.
What are the benefits of Microservice Architecture?
- Scalability
- Fault isolation
- Technology flexibility
These benefits make microservices suitable for modern applications.
What drives the system flow in Event Driven Architecture?
Events such as user actions, sensor inputs, or messages from other systems
This architecture reacts to events instead of following a sequential task execution.
What is a key feature of Event Driven Architecture?
Asynchronous communication between services
This feature enhances system responsiveness and scalability.
In what type of applications is Event Driven Architecture commonly used?
Real-time applications
The ability to react to events in real-time is crucial for such applications.
