A company has a production environment that is critical and cannot tolerate downtime. They need to update the application to a new version. They also want to be able to roll back quickly if the new version has issues. Which deployment strategy should they use?

Canary deployment that gradually shifts traffic to the new version.

Blue-green deployment with automated rollback on health check failure.

In-place update with a backup of the old version.

Recreate the environment from scratch with the new version.

A company uses Terraform to provision infrastructure in AWS. They now need to provision resources in Azure as well, and they want to manage both clouds from a single workflow. Which tool should they use?

Azure Resource Manager templates

Terraform with the AzureRM provider

A development team needs to create test environments that mirror production. They want to avoid manual configuration and ensure that each environment is identical. Which approach best supports this?

Use a configuration management tool like Ansible to apply the same playbook to each environment.

Document the setup steps in a wiki and have each developer follow them manually.

Create a snapshot of a production VM and clone it for each test environment.

Use infrastructure as code (IaC) templates to define the entire environment and deploy them consistently.

A company has a production application that requires zero downtime during updates. They want to deploy a new version of the application without interrupting service. Which deployment strategy should they use?

Use a rolling deployment that gradually replaces instances.

Update the application in place while it is running.

Use a blue-green deployment where the new version is deployed alongside the old, then switch traffic.

Delete the existing application and redeploy the new version.

How does an application service template help accelerate provisioning?

By providing a runtime environment that executes the application code

By pre-defining the configuration so that deployments are repeatable and require less manual effort

By automatically purchasing reserved capacity for the application

By eliminating the need for any cloud provider APIs during deployment
