Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 485

A developer needs to create an application with these requirements:
• decouples from the underlying infrastructure
• runs application on any cloud or on-premises provider

Which deployment type must be used for this application?

Answer options

• A. bare metal
• B. hyperconverged
• C. container
• D. virtual machine

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, container, as it allows applications to run consistently across various environments by packaging them with their dependencies. Options A (bare metal) and B (hyperconverged) tie applications to specific hardware, limiting flexibility. Option D (virtual machine) adds overhead and does not offer the same level of portability as containers.
