A company deploys infrastructure changes by having administrators manually run AWS CLI commands in production. This has led to configuration drift and occasional misconfigurations. The company wants to implement a change management process that reduces risk and ensures consistent deployments. What should the company do?

Use AWS Systems Manager Run Command to execute the same CLI commands across all resources.

Use AWS CloudFormation to define infrastructure as code and deploy changes through a CI/CD pipeline.

Enable AWS CloudTrail to log all CLI commands for auditing.

Create an AWS Config rule that detects manual CLI commands and alerts the team.

What is the primary purpose of a runbook in incident response?

To automate the deployment of new code

To document step-by-step procedures for handling specific incidents

To collect and store application logs

To track changes to the infrastructure

A company is deploying a new version of its application. The team wants to reduce the risk of deployment by using a canary deployment strategy. They also want to be able to quickly roll back if the new version fails. What should the team do?

Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk with a blue/green deployment and manually roll back if needed.

Use AWS CodeDeploy with a canary deployment configuration and enable automatic rollback on CloudWatch alarm.

Use AWS CloudFormation to deploy the new version and use the stack rollback feature.

Use AWS Lambda to deploy the new version and use aliases for rollback.
