Which of the following is an advantage of a microservice-based architecture over traditional software architectures?

The correct answer is A. Updates can be done one or more times per day if security issues arise.. Microservices are small, independently deployable components. Because each service can be built, tested, and released on its own pipeline, a security fix in one area doesn’t require rebuilding and redeploying the whole application. That independence enables rapid, even multiple-p

Explanation

Microservices are small, independently deployable components. Because each service can be built, tested, and released on its own pipeline, a security fix in one area doesn’t require rebuilding and redeploying the whole application. That independence enables rapid, even multiple-per-day patches, shrinking exposure windows when vulnerabilities are found.
