I practiced a similar question where the focus was on microservices, and I think that aligns with D too, but I’m not entirely confident.

I’m a bit confused because I feel like both C and D could apply, but I think D emphasizes the public cloud aspect more.

I think a cloud-native app is more about leveraging cloud services, so I’m leaning towards D, but I’m not completely sure.

I'm confident that option D is the correct answer. A cloud-native app leverages the specific services and capabilities of public cloud platforms.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem to match the "cloud-native" description, and then choose the best fit from the remaining choices.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the differences between a cloud-based app and a cloud-native app.

I'm confused. Isn't a cloud-native app just one that's been 'lifted and shifted' to the cloud? I'll go with A, just to be safe.
