E
‭Engine, and Google Workspace.‬

‭SOA Characteristics:‬

‭ ervice-oriented‬‭architecture‬‭(SOA)‬‭is‬‭a‬‭software‬‭design‬‭method‬‭that‬‭uses‬‭software‬‭components‬
S
‭called services to build applications.‬

‭ n‬‭online‬‭shopping‬‭platform‬‭where‬‭different‬‭services‬‭like‬‭"check‬‭inventory",‬‭"calculate‬‭shipping‬
A
‭cost",‬ ‭"process‬ ‭payment",‬ ‭and‬ ‭"send‬‭order‬‭confirmation"‬‭are‬‭all‬‭separate,‬‭modular‬‭services‬‭that‬
‭can be accessed and combined dynamically to complete a purchase in real-time.‬

‭1.‬ L ‭ oose‬‭Coupling‬‭–‬‭Services‬‭are‬‭independent‬‭and‬‭interact‬‭through‬‭well-defined‬‭interfaces,‬
‭reducing dependencies.‬
‭2.‬ ‭Interoperability‬ ‭–‬ ‭Services‬ ‭can‬ ‭communicate‬ ‭across‬ ‭different‬ ‭platforms,‬ ‭programming‬
‭languages, and protocols.‬
‭3.‬ ‭Reusability‬ ‭–‬‭Services‬‭are‬‭modular‬‭and‬‭reusable‬‭across‬‭different‬‭applications‬‭and‬‭cloud‬
‭environments.‬
‭4.‬ ‭Scalability‬ ‭–‬ ‭Services‬ ‭can‬ ‭dynamically‬ ‭scale‬ ‭based‬ ‭on‬ ‭demand,‬ ‭leveraging‬ ‭cloud‬
‭infrastructure.‬
‭5.‬ ‭Flexibility‬ ‭–‬ ‭New‬ ‭services‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭added,‬ ‭modified,‬ ‭or‬ ‭replaced‬ ‭without‬ ‭affecting‬ ‭the‬
‭entire system.‬
‭6.‬ ‭Standardized‬ ‭Interfaces‬ ‭–‬ ‭Uses‬ ‭standard‬ ‭communication‬ ‭protocols‬ ‭like‬ ‭SOAP(Simple‬
‭Object‬ ‭Access‬ ‭Protocol‬ ‭),‬ ‭REST(Representational‬ ‭State‬ ‭Transfer),‬ ‭or‬ ‭HTTP‬ ‭for‬ ‭service‬
‭interaction.‬
‭7.‬ ‭Autonomy –‬‭Each service operates independently and‬‭manages its own resources.‬
‭8.‬ ‭Security‬ ‭&‬ ‭Governance‬ ‭–‬ ‭Implements‬ ‭security‬ ‭policies,‬ ‭authentication,‬ ‭and‬ ‭access‬
‭control mechanisms.‬
‭9.‬ ‭Discoverability‬‭–‬‭Services‬‭are‬‭registered‬‭and‬‭can‬‭be‬‭discovered‬‭dynamically‬‭in‬‭the‬‭cloud‬
‭environment.‬
‭10.‬‭Pay-Per-Use‬‭Model‬‭–‬‭Cloud‬‭services‬‭follow‬‭a‬‭utility-based‬‭pricing‬‭model,‬‭ensuring‬‭cost‬
‭efficiency.‬
