A company's release process involves multiple steps: building the application, running tests, deploying to a staging environment, and then deploying to production. Each step is currently triggered manually by a different team member. The company wants to automate the entire process so that a successful test run automatically triggers the staging deployment, and a successful staging deployment automatically triggers the production deployment. What should the team implement?

A script that runs all the steps in sequence when executed by an administrator

A version control system that stores the application code

A monitoring tool that alerts the team when each step is complete

An orchestration workflow that defines the sequence of steps and their triggers

A company runs a critical application in the cloud. The security team has identified a critical vulnerability in the application's underlying operating system. The company wants to apply the security patch quickly, but must ensure the patch does not break the application. What is the best approach?

Apply the patch to a staging environment, run automated tests, and then deploy to production if tests pass

Wait for the next scheduled maintenance window in three months to apply the patch

Disable the vulnerable service in production until the patch can be tested

Apply the patch directly to production immediately to close the vulnerability as fast as possible

Why is regression testing important in a cloud application's CI/CD pipeline?

It automates the deployment process

It isolates the application from other environments

It verifies that new changes do not break existing functionality

It ensures the application can handle high user traffic
