A company has a GitLab instance with multiple groups. Group A has a variable DB_HOST set to 'db1.internal'. Group B does not define this variable. A project in Group B runs a pipeline. What is the value of DB_HOST in this pipeline?

The variable is inherited from Group A because it is on the same instance.

The pipeline fails because the variable is missing.

The variable is not defined and will be empty or cause an error if used.

A pipeline has a 'test' job that produces a coverage report and a 'report' job that needs to access the coverage report. The 'report' job runs after 'test'. What is the recommended way to make the coverage report available to the 'report' job?

Define the coverage report content as a variable in the 'test' job and reference it in the 'report' job.

Use a group-level variable to store the report path.

Use the `variables` keyword in the 'report' job to define the report path.

Use the `artifacts` keyword in the 'test' job to save the report and use `dependencies` in the 'report' job to fetch it.

An organization has a group 'engineering' with two projects: 'app' and 'api'. They set a group variable DEPLOY_REGION to 'us-east-1'. The 'api' project has a project-level variable DEPLOY_REGION set to 'eu-west-1'. What will be the value of DEPLOY_REGION in a pipeline for the 'app' project?

The pipeline fails due to a conflict.

The variable is not defined for the 'app' project.

A variable named DEPLOY_ENV is defined at both the group level and the project level. Which value will be used in the pipeline?

The pipeline fails with a conflict error

A company has a GitLab instance with a group 'engineering' and a subgroup 'engineering/backend'. They define a variable DATABASE_URL at the instance level. The 'engineering' group defines DATABASE_URL as 'db1'. The 'engineering/backend' subgroup defines DATABASE_URL as 'db2'. A project 'engineering/backend/service' does not define this variable. What value will a pipeline for this project use?

The 'engineering' group value (db1)

The 'engineering/backend' subgroup value (db2)
