A client is writing a Heroku application that requires compliance with PCI DSS Level 1. To accomplish this, they deploy an application to the Shield Private Space. Which statement is true about the application?

  1. The application might still violate PCI DSS Level 1 even though it is deployed to a Shield Private Space
  2. The Shield Private Space guarantees that the application is compliant with PCI DSS Level 1, assuming the application uses only Shield Postgres databases
  3. The application is definitely not compliant with PCI DSS Level 1. because Shield Private Spaces do not provide compliance with it.
  4. The Shield Private Space guarantees that the application is compliant with PCI DSS Level 1

Universal Containers has a microservices architecture on Heroku. One microservice. named the Metrics Microservice. periodically fetches metrics from a fleet of loT sensors. Then, the Metrics Microservice is required to send relevant metrics to each of the other microservices using REST. When a new microservice is added to the architecture, the Metrics Microservice must send metrics to that new microservice too. As a result, adding microservices to the architecture causes performance issues. How should an Architect recommend changing this architecture to improve its scalability?

  1. Configure each microservices to directly fetch the sensor metrics that are relevant to it.
  2. Use Private Space DNS Service Discovery to reduce the amount of time required for the Metrics Microservice to obtain each other microservice's IP address
  3. Configure the other microservices to pull the Metrics Microservice for updates every five seconds
  4. Use Apache Kafka on Heroku to publish metrics to a topic that the other microservices can consume.

Answer(s): D

  2. Individual services can be scaled easily for high-volume event processing
  3. Consumers and producers can be scaled independently.
  4. Individual services can efficiently communicate with each other using REST APIs.
