Services A, B, and C Are Non-Agnostic Task Services

question 21

Multiple Choice

Services A, B, and C are non-agnostic task services. Service A and Service B use the same shared state database to defer their state data at runtime. An assessment of these three services reveals that each contains some agnostic logic, but because it is bundled together with the non-agnostic logic, the agnostic logic cannot be made available for reuse. The assessment also determines that because Service A and Service B and the shared state database are each located in physically separate environments, the remote communication required for Service A and Service B to interact with the shared state database is causing an unreasonable decrease in runtime performance. You are asked to redesign this architecture in order to increase the opportunity for agnostic service logic to be reused and in order to decrease the runtime processing demands so that performance can be improved. What steps can be taken to achieve these goals?

• A) The Enterprise Service Bus pattern can be applied to establish an environment whereby the Process Abstraction and Process Centralization patterns are naturally applied, resulting in a clean separation of non-agnostic task services from newly designed agnostic services that are further shaped into reusable services by the application of the Service Reusability principle.
• B) The Process Centralization pattern can be applied, resulting in a redesign effort where agnostic logic is removed from the three task services so that they only encapsulate non-agnostic logic. The agnostic logic is then moved to one or more new agnostic services that are shaped into reusable services by the application of the Service Reusability principle. The Process Abstraction pattern is then applied to the redesigned task services Service A and Service B, so that their logic is physically centralized, turning them into orchestrated task services.
• C) The Process Abstraction pattern can be applied, resulting in a redesign effort where agnostic logic is removed from the three task services so that they only encapsulate non-agnostic logic. The agnostic logic is then moved to one or more new agnostic services that are shaped into reusable services by the application of the Service Reusability principle. The Orchestration pattern can be further applied to establish an environment whereby the Process Centralization pattern is naturally applied to Services A and B and the State Repository pattern in naturally applied to further help avoid remote communication by providing a local and centralized state database that can be shared by both services.
• D) None of the above.
