az-400 Practice Question 1979
Exam: az-400
Domain: Design and implement build and release pipelines
Topic: Design and implement continuous delivery
Difficulty: medium
In a scenario where you need to ensure that a new version of an application is thoroughly tested before it is rolled out to production, which release gate should you implement in your continuous delivery pipeline?
Answer Options
A
Automated testing
B
Manual approval gate
C
Automated deployment
D
Continuous integration
Correct Answer
B: Manual approval gate
Explanation
The correct answer is B because a manual approval gate allows the team to review and approve the deployment before it proceeds to the next stage. This ensures that the new version is thoroughly tested and meets the necessary quality standards. Option A (Automated testing) is important but does not provide the final human approval needed before deployment. Option C (Automated deployment) would bypass the need for any review or approval, which goes against the principle of ensuring quality before deployment. Option D (Continuous integration) is a practice used to integrate code changes from multiple contributors into a single software project, but it does not address the need for a final approval before deployment.
