A company wants to deploy network configuration changes to their staging environment automatically, but they require a human to approve the production deployment. They also want to be able to quickly revert if the production deployment fails. Which pipeline design best meets these requirements?

Automated deployment to production without approval and no rollback

Manual deployment to staging and production with no automated tests

Automated deployment to production with approval and no rollback

Automated deployment to staging, manual approval for production, and a rollback stage

A team is building a CI/CD pipeline for a network automation library. They want to run unit tests on the library's functions and integration tests that verify the library works correctly with a simulated network device. Which pipeline stage should include these tests?

The deploy stage, after the code is in production

The commit stage, before the code is pushed

The build stage, before the code is compiled

The test stage, after the build stage

Which statement accurately describes continuous deployment?

Deployments are scheduled only during maintenance windows

Changes are deployed to production only after a manual review by a manager

Deployments require a change advisory board (CAB) approval

Every change that passes automated tests is automatically released to production

How does a CI/CD pipeline reduce the risk of deploying faulty infrastructure changes?

By deploying changes directly to production without testing

By running automated tests before deployment

By requiring manual configuration of every environment

What is the main purpose of continuous integration (CI) in a CI/CD pipeline?

To frequently merge code changes into a shared repository and run automated builds and tests

To manually review code changes before merging

To automatically deploy code to production

To create a backup of the code repository
