What is the primary purpose of a CI/CD pipeline?

To manage user access to AWS resources

To monitor application performance in production

To manually deploy applications to production

To automate the build, test, and deployment processes

A company uses AWS CodePipeline to deploy a microservices application to Amazon ECS. The team wants to implement an automated rollback strategy that reverts to the previous version if the new version fails health checks after deployment. The rollback must be fast and must not require manual intervention. Which approach should the team use?

Use AWS CodeDeploy with a blue/green deployment and configure automatic rollback on CloudWatch alarm

Use AWS CloudFormation to update the ECS service and rely on the stack's rollback on failure

Configure the ECS service to use the previous task definition and update the CodePipeline to redeploy it

Use AWS Lambda to monitor the ECS service and update the task definition if health checks fail

Which AWS service is a native Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service that allows you to define and provision AWS resources using templates?

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

A company deploys a new version of its application using a blue/green deployment. After switching traffic to the green environment, monitoring detects a significant increase in error rates. The team needs to revert to the previous version as quickly as possible. What should the team do?

Switch the load balancer back to the blue environment

Restore the green environment from a snapshot

Redeploy the previous version to the green environment using CodeDeploy

Update the Auto Scaling group to use the previous launch template

What is the primary characteristic of a rolling deployment?

Traffic is shifted to a new environment all at once

The application is deployed to a separate environment for testing

All instances are replaced at the same time

Instances are incrementally replaced with the new version
