A team uses Jenkins for CI/CD. They want to define the entire pipeline as code so it can be versioned and reviewed. Which approach should they use?

Create a Jenkinsfile in the source repository that defines the pipeline stages.

Use a plugin that generates the pipeline configuration automatically.

Configure the pipeline manually in the Jenkins web UI.

Use a separate script that is not stored in version control.

Which activity is typically performed during the build stage of a CI/CD pipeline?

Running integration tests against a deployed environment

Sending performance metrics to a monitoring dashboard

Rolling back a failed production deployment

Compiling source code and packaging it into an artifact

A CI/CD pipeline stores build artifacts in a central repository. The security team requires that artifacts cannot be tampered with after they are built. What is the best practice?

Store the artifact in a private network location with no access controls.

Use a checksum but do not store it securely.

Sign the artifact with a private key and verify the signature before deployment.

Rely on the artifact repository's built-in encryption at rest.

A team has implemented a CI/CD pipeline that deploys a new version of their application to production using a canary deployment strategy. They want to automatically roll back if the new version shows an increased error rate. What should they add to the pipeline?

A manual approval step after the canary deployment to decide whether to continue.

A monitoring and feedback loop that analyzes error rates and triggers an automated rollback if a threshold is exceeded.

A build stage that recompiles the application if the error rate increases.

A test stage that runs after deployment to validate the new version.
