QuestionQ161

Application Deployment and Security

A new application is being developed that must be capable of being copied and moved between locations. Because the existing infrastructure is already heavily used, the new application needs a low resource footprint. The application contains a small PostgreSQL database component. Which application deployment type fulfills these requirements?

  • A Python virtual environment
  • B bare metal
  • C virtual machine
  • D container
Explanation

Containers package application components, including their dependencies, into portable units that can run consistently across environments. Because containers share the host kernel rather than each requiring a full guest operating system, they use fewer infrastructure resources than virtual machines and suit a small application with a PostgreSQL component.
