   A network team uses Git with a branching strategy where feature branches are merged into a 'main' branch. They want to run a full CI pipeline on every push to any branch, but they are concerned about resource usage and want to avoid running expensive integration tests on feature branches. Which approach best balances thorough testing and resource efficiency?

   • ARun integration tests on feature branches and unit tests only on the main branch
   • BRun the full pipeline on every branch, including integration tests
   • CRun fast unit tests on feature branches and run full integration tests only on the main branch
   • DRun no tests on feature branches and only run tests on the main branch

   A network team is considering continuous deployment for their infrastructure changes. They have a robust test suite and automated rollback, but they are concerned about the impact of a failed change on a small number of devices. Which additional practice would best mitigate this risk?

   • AImplement canary deployments that apply changes to a small subset of devices first and monitor for issues before rolling out to the rest
   • BDeploy changes to all devices simultaneously to reduce the number of deployments
   • CDisable automated rollback to avoid configuration churn
   • DSkip the test suite to speed up the pipeline
