A startup is deploying a customer-facing web application that experiences unpredictable traffic spikes. The development team wants to minimize infrastructure management overhead and scale individual components independently. The application is being built as a set of small, stateless services that communicate via REST APIs. Which deployment model best aligns with these requirements?

Deploy each service as a container managed by a Kubernetes cluster on cloud VMs

Lift-and-shift the application to a cloud VM and use a load balancer to distribute traffic

Deploy the entire application as a monolithic package on a single large cloud VM

Use a platform-as-a-service offering to deploy the application as a single deployable unit

What is the primary purpose of a continuous integration (CI) pipeline?

To automatically deploy code to production after every commit

To manually review code before merging

To provision cloud infrastructure for applications

To automatically build and test code changes whenever they are committed

A developer has a Kubernetes manifest file named `deployment.yaml`. Which kubectl command applies this manifest to the cluster?

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

kubectl update -f deployment.yaml
