Chapter 4: Distributed Applications and Microservices with Service Fabric

1. Reliable Actors implement the Virtual Actor pattern and are designed to distribute load among thousands of stateful services. Reliable Services are the patterns in Service Fabric that are used to implement stateful services, which can be multi-threaded and do not have to be scaled to that level.
2. Stateful services store the state locally. Stateless services either do not handle the state at all or use an external storage.
3. An interface called ICommunicationListener.
4. A node type in SF is the specialized VM scale set that's designed to work on a particular workload.
5. Yes, as they are separate VMSS.
6. Yes, you can.
7. Node-to-node security and client-to-node security.
8. A cluster is the whole instance of Service Fabric—a container for all of the other concepts. An application is a logical container for multiple...
