Which of the following best describe the benefits of a microservices architecture when compared to a monolithic architecture? (Choose two.)

Microservices architecture improves scalability because individual services can be scaled independently based on demand, unlike a monolithic application where the entire system must be scaled. It also increases compartmentalization, meaning a failure in one service is less likely to affect the entire system, enhancing fault isolation and resilience. "Easier debugging" is incorrect because debugging a distributed microservices system can be more complex due to inter-service communication and distributed logging. "Reduced cost of ownership" is not universally true; while development might be faster, operational overhead can increase. "Stronger authentication" is not an inherent benefit; authentication mechanisms are chosen independently of the architectural style. "Reduced complexity" is incorrect; while individual services are simpler, the overall system complexity increases due to distributed nature and inter-service communication.
