ATo write application business logic
BTo store data for microservices
CTo replace microservices with monolithic applications
DTo manage communication between microservices securely and reliably
Step-by-Step Solution

  3. Final Answer:

    To manage communication between microservices securely and reliably -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Service mesh = communication management [OK]
Quick Trick: Service mesh controls microservice communication, not data or logic [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
