CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 454

A company develops a complex platform that is composed of a single application. After several issues with upgrades, the systems administrator recommends breaking down the application into unique, independent modules. Which of the following best identifies the systems administrator's recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Virtualization
• B. Serverless
• C. Microservices
• D. API gateway

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Microservices, as this architecture involves breaking down applications into smaller, independent services that can be developed and deployed separately. Options A (Virtualization) and B (Serverless) refer to different concepts not focused on modular application design, while D (API gateway) is an architectural component that manages APIs but does not describe the modular approach itself.
