A company is deploying a web application to a cloud provider. They want to ensure that the staging environment is as close to production as possible, but they have a limited budget and cannot afford to run a full-scale replica of the production environment. Which approach best balances fidelity with cost?

Manually configure a single staging server with the same application but no other infrastructure

Use the production environment for all testing to ensure exact fidelity

Create a staging environment with a completely different architecture to save money

Use infrastructure as code to provision a staging environment that mirrors production's architecture but with smaller instance sizes

Which benefit is most directly achieved by practicing continuous delivery?

Eliminating the need for automated testing

Ensuring the software is always in a releasable state

Requiring manual approval for every code commit

Guaranteeing zero defects in production

Why are automated tests typically included in a CI pipeline?

To satisfy regulatory requirements only

To replace the need for any manual testing

To increase the complexity of the pipeline

To provide fast feedback on code quality and catch regressions early
