A workflow provisions BIG-IP instances in Azure using an ARM template. If the template deployment fails after creating the VM but before the Custom Script Extension runs, what is the most appropriate rollback mechanism?

Delete the entire resource group containing the partially deployed resources.

Use Azure Backup to restore the VM to a previous state.

Re-run the same ARM template deployment without any changes.

Manually delete the VM and leave the other resources for reuse.

Why is validation an important step in a dynamic provisioning workflow for an F5 instance?

To ensure the F5 instance is deleted after testing

To reduce the cost of the F5 instance

To speed up the provisioning process by skipping configuration

To confirm that the instance is correctly configured and functional before use

An organization uses a CI/CD pipeline to deploy applications. They want to automatically provision a BIG-IP instance in AWS only when a new application version is promoted to the production stage. The provisioning workflow should not run for development or staging promotions. Which mechanism should be used to trigger the dynamic provisioning workflow?

Use an AWS CloudFormation template that runs the workflow during stack creation only.

Manually execute the workflow from the AWS Management Console after each production deployment.

Schedule a cron job in AWS CloudWatch Events to run the workflow every hour.

Configure an AWS Lambda function that listens to S3 bucket events for new application artifacts.

Why are cloud provider APIs used in a dynamic provisioning workflow for F5 instances?

To programmatically create and manage the F5 instance and its supporting resources

To provide a graphical interface for provisioning F5 instances

To replace the need for F5-specific configuration tools

To manually create cloud resources through the provider's web console

After a workflow provisions a BIG-IP instance in AWS, the team must confirm that the instance is functional and ready for traffic. The workflow uses Ansible for configuration. Which validation step should be included at the end of the workflow?

Ensure the Ansible playbook ran without errors and exit with success.

Verify that the EC2 instance's status checks pass in the AWS console.

Confirm that the security group allows all inbound traffic.

Check that the BIG-IP management port (443) is reachable and the REST API responds to a health query.
