   A city deploys EdgeX Foundry to manage traffic sensors across multiple intersections. They want to add new sensor types and update processing logic without redeploying the entire system. Which feature of EdgeX Foundry directly supports this requirement?

   • ABuilt-in machine learning models for traffic prediction
   • BMonolithic kernel that simplifies deployment
   • CAutomatic cloud synchronization of all configuration changes
   • DMicroservices architecture that allows individual services to be updated independently

   A healthcare facility deploys EdgeX Foundry to collect patient vitals from bedside monitors. The compliance team requires that all data be encrypted in transit and that access to the EdgeX APIs be restricted to authorized applications only. Which combination of EdgeX features should be implemented to meet these security requirements?

   • AStore all data in the cloud and use the cloud provider's security features
   • BDisable all external access and only allow local console access
   • CUse only HTTP for internal communications and rely on network segmentation
   • DEnable TLS for all EdgeX service communications and configure API gateway authentication

   A hospital deploys EdgeX Foundry to collect data from patient monitors. The IT security team requires that all data be encrypted at rest and in transit, and that only authorized personnel can access the EdgeX APIs. The hospital also has a limited budget for additional hardware. Which approach best meets these requirements?

   • ADisable all external access and only allow physical console access
   • BEnable TLS for all communications and use an API gateway with authentication, while relying on the edge device's disk encryption for at-rest data
   • CStore all data in the cloud and use the cloud provider's security features
   • DUse only HTTP for internal communications and rely on the network being isolated

   A remote oil pipeline monitoring site has limited bandwidth and intermittent connectivity. The team wants to use EdgeX Foundry to collect pressure data from sensors and send only alerts and aggregated summaries to the cloud, while storing raw data locally. Which deployment strategy best meets these requirements?

   • AStream all raw sensor data directly to the cloud and rely on cloud-side processing
   • BUse a single device service to both store and export data to the cloud
   • CRun EdgeX with local storage for raw data, and use an application service to filter and aggregate data before exporting only alerts and summaries to the cloud
   • DDisable local storage and only use EdgeX as a pass-through to the cloud
