A DevOps team manages a CloudFormation template in a Git repository. They want to ensure that any change to the template is reviewed by another team member and that the template is syntactically valid before it is merged. Which combination of practices should they implement?

Enable branch protection with required pull request reviews, and run a CI job that executes `aws cloudformation validate-template` on every pull request.

Use AWS CodeCommit with a pull request template that includes a checklist for reviewers, but do not run any automated validation.

Require all developers to push directly to the main branch and run `cfn-lint` locally before pushing.

Schedule a nightly AWS CodeBuild job that runs `aws cloudformation validate-template` and emails the results to the team.

A DevOps team uses Git for version control of their CloudFormation templates. Which practice is essential for implementing change management for IaC?

Storing templates only in an S3 bucket with versioning enabled

Using pull requests for code review before merging changes

Using AWS CloudFormation Designer to edit templates in the console

Deploying changes directly from the local machine to production

A company has a legacy application that requires a specific configuration file to be present on each EC2 instance. The file is generated from a template and includes environment-specific values. The company wants to manage the configuration centrally, support multiple environments, and allow for quick rollback if a change causes issues. Which combination of services should they use?

Use AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate to manage the configuration file as a Chef cookbook.

Use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store to store the configuration and a custom script on each instance to retrieve it at boot.

Use AWS Config to deploy the configuration file to instances as a managed rule.

Use AWS AppConfig to store the configuration and deploy it to instances using the AppConfig agent, with deployment strategies for rollback.
