A development team is experiencing frequent merge conflicts and long-lived feature branches that take weeks to integrate. They want to adopt a strategy that supports continuous integration and reduces integration overhead. Which approach should they implement?

Switch to trunk-based development with short-lived feature branches that are merged daily.

Adopt GitFlow with dedicated develop and release branches to isolate features until release time.

Disable branching entirely and have all developers commit directly to the main branch without any review.

Use a single long-lived feature branch for all new work and merge it only at the end of the sprint.

A company is deploying a web application to multiple environments (development, staging, production). They notice that environment configurations often drift, causing bugs that only appear in production. They want to manage infrastructure consistently and reproducibly. Which approach should they adopt?

Use containerization only, without any configuration management.

Manually configure each environment to match the production setup.

Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to define all environments in version-controlled configuration files.

Create a golden image and use it for all environments, but do not update it.

A team wants to adopt a Git branching strategy that supports continuous delivery and allows for rapid, small releases. They prefer a simple workflow with short-lived branches and pull requests. Which strategy should they choose?

Trunk-based development with no branches

A single long-lived release branch

What is the primary role of configuration management tools?

To monitor application performance in real time.

To manage user authentication and authorization.

To maintain consistent configuration across servers and automate deployments.

To compile source code into executable binaries.
