A DevOps team wants to automate the deployment of a three-tier application (web, app, database) to a cloud environment. They want to define the entire infrastructure in a single template that can be versioned and reused. Which approach best meets this requirement?

Use a configuration management tool like Ansible to provision the infrastructure

Manually create resources in the cloud console and document the steps

Write a CloudFormation template that defines all resources

Use a series of shell scripts to create resources sequentially

Which of the following is a benefit of storing IaC templates in a version control system?

It guarantees that the infrastructure will never fail

It allows for rollback to previous infrastructure configurations

It automatically scales infrastructure based on demand

It eliminates the need for testing IaC code

A security team requires that all infrastructure changes be reviewed and approved before deployment. They also need to ensure that the person who applies the changes has the least privilege necessary. They are using Terraform with a remote backend. What is the best way to enforce this?

Use a shared admin account for all terraform operations

Store the state file in a public bucket so everyone can see changes

Use a CI/CD pipeline with a protected branch and require approvals before running terraform apply

Allow all developers to run terraform apply locally
