A company uses Terraform to manage their infrastructure. A recent change to the Terraform configuration caused a production outage. They need to roll back to the previous known good state. However, they also need to ensure that any rollback is tested and does not introduce further issues. What is the best approach?

Use the last known good Terraform state file and run terraform apply in a staging environment first

Manually revert the infrastructure changes without using Terraform

Keep the current configuration and fix the issue in a new change

Revert the Terraform configuration in Git and run terraform apply in production immediately

A company uses Deployment Manager to manage their infrastructure. They need to ensure that configuration changes are auditable and that only authorized users can make changes. Which practice should they implement?

Use Deployment Manager's built-in audit logging only

Allow all developers to deploy directly to production

Store Deployment Manager configurations in a Git repository and use Cloud Build to deploy them

Manually edit configurations in the Google Cloud Console

In a release management process, why is it important to include a communication plan?

To automate the deployment of code to production

To enforce security policies on the deployment environment

To manage the configuration of application environments

To inform stakeholders about release schedules, changes, and potential impacts
