Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Step 1: Set up source stream; Step 2: Create analytics application; Step 3: Configure application with source and logic; Step 4: Start application; Step 5: Monitor performance
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must have a source stream ready before creating the application, then configure it with the source and processing logic, start it, and finally monitor performance.
- ✗
Step 1: Create analytics application; Step 2: Configure application with source and logic; Step 3: Set up source stream; Step 4: Start application; Step 5: Monitor performance
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because you need the source stream to exist before you can configure the application with it. Setting up the source stream after configuring the application would make the configuration invalid.
- ✗
Step 1: Set up source stream; Step 2: Create analytics application; Step 3: Start application; Step 4: Configure application with source and logic; Step 5: Monitor performance
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because you must configure the application with the source and logic before starting it. Starting an unconfigured application will fail or produce no output.
- ✗
Step 1: Set up source stream; Step 2: Create analytics application; Step 3: Configure application with source and logic; Step 4: Monitor performance; Step 5: Start application
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because you cannot monitor performance before starting the application. The application must be running to generate metrics and logs.
