What is the primary purpose of a staging environment?

To serve live traffic to a subset of users for A/B testing

To provide a place for developers to write and compile code

To store backup copies of the production database

To test and validate changes before they are deployed to production

A company is planning a change to its production network that will require a brief outage. The change has been approved, but the outage will affect a critical customer-facing service. What is the best way to minimize the impact?

Perform the change without notifying customers to avoid concern.

Perform the change immediately to resolve the issue faster.

Schedule the change during a low-usage period and notify customers in advance.

Cancel the change and postpone it indefinitely.

Submit a change request and obtain approval before applying the patch.

Apply the patch immediately because it is critical.

Reboot the server without applying the patch.

What is the primary goal of continuous integration (CI) in software development?
