A development team has adopted DevOps practices, but the operations team still works in silos and is not involved until deployment. Developers complain that operations tickets are slow, while operations complains that developers ignore production issues. Which cultural change would most directly address this conflict?

Increase the size of the operations team to handle the ticket backlog more quickly.

Create a detailed handoff document that developers must complete before operations begins any work.

Implement a shared on-call rotation where developers and operations staff jointly handle production incidents.

Automate the deployment pipeline so that operations is no longer needed for releases.

A manager wants to adopt DevOps but believes it is just about buying automation tools. The team has purchased a CI/CD tool but still has separate development and operations teams with little communication. What is the most important missing element?

A dedicated DevOps team to manage the tools.

A cultural shift toward collaboration and shared responsibility.

A new project management methodology.

More advanced automation tools to replace manual processes.

What is a primary goal of DevOps?

To improve collaboration between development and operations teams

To eliminate the need for manual testing

To increase the number of software releases per year

To reduce the cost of cloud infrastructure

A team wants to implement continuous deployment, but the business requires a human approval for any change that affects customer-facing features. The team has a fully automated test suite and a deployment pipeline. How can they achieve frequent releases while satisfying the business requirement?

Reduce the frequency of releases to once a month to minimize the need for approvals.

Automate the approval process by having a bot approve all changes.

Deploy all changes to production automatically and rely on feature toggles to hide new features.

Use continuous delivery with automated deployment to staging and manual approval for production releases.

How does DevOps contribute to improved software quality?

By isolating development from operations

By increasing the number of manual testing phases

By automating testing and integrating it into the delivery pipeline

By reducing the frequency of releases
