Practice Question 1

Practice Question 2
• In my service, I chose to persist data between invocations to a

 Practice Question 11
• Which of the following statements correctly explains the difference between the
Service Abstraction and Service Loose Coupling design principles?

A. Service Abstraction is focused on creating highly scalable services, whereas

Service Loose Coupling is focused on the relationship between the service
contract and service consumers
B. Service Abstraction is focused on hiding information about service
implementation details, whereas Service Loose Coupling is focused on the

Practice Question 13
• I have a service composition with three services. Service A
retrieves a list of country codes from a database and keeps this
data in memory while interacting with Service B and Service
C. However, because Service A is concurrently invoked many
times, and because each instance of Service A loads its own
copy of the country code data into memory, the demands on
the overall infrastructure become too high, and performance
and reliability are negatively affected.
• Which service orientation principle can be applied to help in
solving this problem?

A. Service Autonomy
B. Service Reusability
C. Service Statelessness
D. Service Abstraction

B is comprised of 6 services. Because both service compositions are
comprised of services from the same service registry, how many total
services the service registry will have?

many services reside in the service registry because we don’t know

many services reside in the service registry because the quantity of
services within a service registry is not determined by the quantity
of services in service compositions
