A DevOps team is composed of developers, a QA engineer, and an operations engineer. The team is responsible for a new service. Which outcome is most likely to be achieved because the team is cross-functional?

The team can independently deliver and operate the service without handoffs to other teams

The team will be smaller than a traditional team

The team will have fewer conflicts because everyone has the same role

The team will use a single programming language for all components

A DevOps team is working on a critical feature. The developer has finished the code and wants to deploy it to production immediately. The operations engineer is concerned about the lack of monitoring and rollback plans. What is the most effective way for the team to resolve this conflict?

The operations engineer should block the deployment until all concerns are resolved

The team should discuss the concerns together and agree on a deployment plan that includes monitoring and rollback
