A developer needs to deploy a large number of metadata components to a production org. The deployment must be automated and repeatable, and the team uses a CI/CD pipeline. However, the developer also needs to be able to quickly roll back if the deployment causes issues. Which approach should the developer take?

Use the Ant Migration Tool with a package.xml that includes all components

Use Salesforce CLI with source format and maintain a backup of the previous source in Git

Use outbound change sets and manually track changes

Use the Data Export Service to back up data before deployment

A developer is planning a deployment to production. The deployment includes a new Apex class that calls a REST API. The developer wants to ensure that if the deployment fails, the org remains in a consistent state. What should the developer do?

Use the Data Import Wizard to deploy the Apex class

Run a validation-only deployment first

Deploy the Apex class and then immediately delete it if there is an error

Deploy directly to production without validation
