Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 38

Which two statements about a stateless application are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Different requests can be processed by different servers.
• B. Requests are based only on information relayed with each request.
• C. Information about earlier requests must be kept and must be accessible.
• D. The same server must be used to process all requests that are linked to the same state.
• E. No state information can be shared across servers.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, A and B, highlight that a stateless application allows different servers to handle requests independently and relies only on the information provided in each request. Options C and D are incorrect because a stateless application does not retain information about previous requests, and there is no requirement for all requests to be processed by the same server. Option E is also false as stateless applications inherently do not share state information.
