A development team uses a CI server to build a Java application. The build downloads dependencies from the public Maven Central repository, which is sometimes slow and occasionally unavailable. They want to improve build reliability and speed while also ensuring that all dependencies are scanned for known vulnerabilities. Which solution best addresses these concerns?

Switch to a different build tool that downloads dependencies faster.

Use a CI server's built-in dependency cache.

Set up a local artifact repository that proxies Maven Central, caches dependencies, and integrates with a vulnerability scanner.

Vendor all dependencies into the source code repository.

What is a key advantage of containerization over traditional virtualization?

Containers share the host operating system kernel, making them more lightweight and faster to start.

Containers can only run on Linux operating systems.

Containers require a hypervisor to run.

Containers provide stronger security isolation than virtual machines.

What is a key characteristic of the forking workflow in team collaboration?

The repository is stored on a central server and locked during edits.

All developers commit directly to a single shared branch.

Branches are created only for hotfixes and never for features.

Each developer works in their own copy of the repository and submits changes via pull requests.

A company wants to release new features to production multiple times per day. Currently, releases are manual, error-prone, and require a maintenance window. The team wants to ensure that every change that passes automated tests is deployable to production at any time, but they still want a human to approve the final production deployment. Which practice best fits this requirement?

Continuous deployment with fully automated production deployments after tests pass.

Release branching with long-lived release branches and manual hotfixes.

Continuous integration only, with nightly builds and manual deployment scripts.

Continuous delivery with an automated pipeline that deploys to staging and a manual approval step before production.

A developer is working on a feature branch. They have made several commits and want to integrate the latest changes from the main branch into their feature branch to avoid merge conflicts later. They also want to keep a clean history without merge commits. Which Git command sequence should they use?

git checkout main && git merge feature

git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main
