Which benefit is directly associated with adopting Infrastructure as Code?

Enabling consistent and repeatable environment provisioning

Guaranteeing zero downtime during all deployments

Removing the need for version control systems

Eliminating the need for any manual configuration

A company is adopting IaC for its cloud infrastructure. They want to ensure that all environments are identical and that no manual changes are made to running resources. They also want to reuse the same code for different projects. Which two principles should they prioritize?

Declarative syntax and immutability

How does reusability enhance efficiency in IaC?

By eliminating the need for version control

By reducing the amount of code that must be written and maintained

By increasing the number of manual steps required for deployment

By requiring each team to create its own unique codebase

A company runs a stateful application that stores data on a persistent volume. They want to adopt immutable infrastructure, but they are concerned about data loss during deployments. Which approach best addresses this concern while adhering to immutability?

Use a separate, persistent data store that is not part of the immutable infrastructure, and attach it to new instances during deployment.

Copy the data to the new instance before decommissioning the old one.

Modify the existing instances in place to apply changes, avoiding data loss.

Do not adopt immutability for stateful applications.

A company runs a critical application in production. To ensure stability, they want to prevent configuration drift and make deployments predictable. They decide that any change to the application environment should result in a completely new environment, rather than modifying the existing one. Which IaC principle does this approach exemplify?
