1. What is the primary operational challenge that AI helps address in microservice architectures?

   1. Eliminating the need for microservices entirely
   2. Finding and visualizing dependencies between services
   3. Replacing all DevOps engineers
   4. Automatically writing application code

2. In the context of microservice coordination, what does 'maintaining service team authority' mean?

   1. AI ensures each team retains control over their own service's design and decisions
   2. AI makes all decisions about service changes without human input
   3. AI removes the need for teams to manage their services
   4. AI automatically deploys changes to any service regardless of team ownership

3. When designing AI for microservice coordination, which component involves communicating when one service's changes break another service?

   1. Service health tracking
   2. Operational impact measurement
   3. Breaking-change coordination
   4. Dependency surfacing

4. Why does the lesson state that AI does not eliminate operational complexity?

   1. Because teams refuse to use AI tools
   2. Because microservices are no longer needed
   3. Because microservices distribute systems and concentrate coordination overhead
   4. Because AI introduces new security risks

5. What is the purpose of dependency surfacing in AI microservice coordination?

   1. To automatically delete unused services
   2. To replace API documentation
   3. To monitor network traffic between services
   4. To identify which services rely on each other before changes are made

6. Which design consideration involves evaluating whether the AI coordination tool works with a team's existing tools like GitHub or Jira?

   1. Team authority
   2. Dependency surfacing
   3. Integration with existing tools
   4. Breaking-change coordination

7. What does service health tracking enable teams to do?

   1. Monitor the status and performance of services across the entire architecture
   2. Delete unhealthy services
   3. Replace load balancers
   4. Automatically fix failing services

8. Why might an organization want to measure the operational impact of AI microservice coordination?

   1. To quantify how much time and effort the coordination tool saves
   2. To determine if the AI is writing too much code
   3. To replace all metrics dashboards
   4. To fire DevOps engineers

9. What is a key distinction between what AI does well and what it cannot do in microservice coordination?

   1. AI can surface dependencies but cannot substitute for human relationships
   2. AI can eliminate microservices but cannot track health
   3. AI can write code but cannot coordinate changes
   4. AI can replace teams but cannot coordinate communications

10. When a team makes an API change, what specific coordination challenge does AI help address?

    1. Deploying the API to production
    2. Identifying which other services depend on that API
    3. Writing the new API code
    4. Deciding what the API should do

11. What does the lesson identify as one of the six key design considerations for AI microservice coordination?

    1. Replacing the database
    2. Hosting the application
    3. Dependency surfacing
    4. Writing unit tests

12. Why is maintaining service team authority important in AI coordination systems?

    1. To eliminate the need for service ownership
    2. To ensure teams retain ownership and control over their services
    3. To speed up deployment by removing team reviews
    4. To allow AI to make changes without approval

13. Which of the following would be an appropriate metric for measuring operational impact of AI microservice coordination?

    1. Server uptime percentage
    2. Time saved on coordination tasks between teams
    3. Number of lines of code written
    4. Number of services deployed

14. Who is the intended audience for this material?

    1. It is written for high-school and adult learners going deeper working on ai-coding.
    2. It is written exclusively for licensed pilots in training.
    3. It targets professional chefs working in commercial kitchens.
    4. It is intended only for graduate researchers in physics.

15. Which best captures the focus of "AI for Microservice Coordination"?

    1. It explains how to bake bread and pastries at home.
    2. It focuses on hardware repair and soldering circuits.
    3. It is mainly about marketing strategies for retail stores.
    4. It centers on microservices, coordination, dependencies.
