Summary
'Design a highly available architecture for X application' — testing whether you can apply Phase 11's patterns and Phase 6's database choices to a concrete scenario, with clear trade-off reasoning.
How to Learn This
- 1Practice a repeatable structure: requirements, compute, storage, networking, redundancy, cost.
- 2Prepare 1-2 fully worked-through examples (e.g. a 3-tier web app with auto-scaling).
- 3Practice justifying trade-offs (cost vs redundancy) explicitly as part of your answer.
