A network team is designing a CI/CD pipeline for a multi-vendor network environment. They need to validate configurations against different device types. They have limited CI server resources and want to minimize the time to feedback. Which pipeline stage design is most efficient?

Run all tests sequentially on a single agent

Skip unit tests and only run integration tests on production

Run integration tests in parallel on multiple agents, then run unit tests sequentially

Run unit tests in parallel on multiple agents, then run integration tests sequentially on a shared agent

A network operations team is considering implementing a CI/CD pipeline for their infrastructure code. They currently have a small team and limited time to manage the pipeline. They want to improve efficiency without adding significant operational overhead. Which approach best balances these constraints?

Use a manual process with a checklist and no automation

Build a custom CI/CD pipeline from scratch using open-source tools

Implement a complex pipeline with many stages and custom scripts

Use a hosted CI/CD service that integrates with their version control and provides pre-built templates for network automation

What is the key difference between continuous deployment and continuous delivery?

Continuous deployment only works with on-premises infrastructure

Continuous deployment automatically deploys every change that passes tests to production, while continuous delivery requires a manual approval for production deployment

Continuous delivery is faster than continuous deployment

Continuous deployment requires a separate CI pipeline
