A company uses a canary deployment for their application. After routing 5% of traffic to the new version, they detect a critical bug. They need to roll back quickly, but they also want to preserve the ability to investigate the bug. Which action should they take?

Scale up the canary to handle more traffic

Immediately delete the canary deployment and its resources

Shift all traffic back to the stable version and keep the canary running for debugging

Leave the canary as is and monitor the situation

A team manages infrastructure with Terraform. They have separate configurations for each environment, but they are experiencing configuration drift. They want to ensure that all environments are identical and changes are applied consistently. Which approach is best?

Manually sync configurations between environments

Use Terraform modules to define common resources and reuse them across environments

Use Terraform workspaces to manage all environments with a single configuration

Use a different tool for each environment

What is the main benefit of integrating an artifact repository into a CI/CD pipeline?

It provides a user interface for developers to write code

It monitors application performance in production

It automatically scales the application based on traffic

It stores and versions build artifacts, ensuring that deployments use consistent and traceable binaries

A company's CI/CD pipeline deploys infrastructure using Terraform. They need to ensure that security and compliance checks are performed before any changes are applied to production. Which approach is most effective?

Apply changes to production first and then run security scans

Rely on the Terraform state file to ensure compliance

Use a policy-as-code tool like Cloud Asset Inventory or Forseti to scan Terraform plans for violations
