Why are short feedback loops important in DevOps?

They eliminate the need for automated testing

They guarantee that no bugs are ever released to production

They ensure that all code changes are reviewed by a human before deployment

They allow issues to be detected early, reducing the cost and effort of fixing them

A company has a mature CI/CD pipeline with comprehensive automated tests, canary deployments, and robust monitoring. The team wants to reduce the time between a code change and its availability to users. Which practice should they adopt?

Continuous deployment, which automatically releases every change that passes the pipeline to production.

Continuous integration, which focuses on merging code changes frequently.

Configuration management, which ensures systems remain in a desired state.

Continuous delivery, which requires a manual approval before any production release.

Which of the following is a common repetitive task that is automated in a DevOps pipeline?

Manually copying files to production servers

Manually reviewing every line of code before merging

Manually configuring each new server

Running automated tests after each code commit

Which set of pillars is commonly used to summarize the core principles of DevOps?
