A team has a pipeline with a 'build' job that produces a large binary and a 'test' job that runs integration tests. The 'test' job needs the binary, but the team is running low on storage space. They want to reduce storage usage without affecting the pipeline's functionality. What should they do?

Set a short expiration time on the binary artifact, such as 1 day.

Set the artifact's expire_in to never to ensure it is always available.

Use a cache instead of an artifact for the binary.

In the 'test' job, set dependencies: [] to prevent it from receiving the binary.

In a .gitlab-ci.yml file, which configuration correctly defines a cache for the 'node_modules' directory?

cache: directories: - node_modules/

A team has a CI job that installs Ruby gems using Bundler. They want to cache the installed gems to speed up subsequent pipeline runs. They also want to ensure that if the Gemfile.lock changes, the cache is invalidated. Which cache configuration should they use?

cache: key: "gems" paths: [vendor/bundle/]

cache: key: "gems" paths: [vendor/bundle/] policy: push

cache: key: files: [Gemfile.lock] paths: [vendor/bundle/]

cache: key: $CI_JOB_NAME paths: [vendor/bundle/]

What is the primary purpose of using cache in GitLab CI/CD?

To reuse downloaded dependencies across pipeline runs to speed up job execution

To automatically delete old artifacts

To pass job outputs to jobs in later stages

To store environment variables for a job
