What is 'psychological safety' in the context of high-performing DevOps teams?
Answer: A team environment where members feel safe to speak up, take risks, and report failures without fear
Psychological safety, identified by Google's Project Aristotle as the top predictor of team success, enables candid communication and continuous improvement.
In DevOps, what is the primary benefit of using feature flags (feature toggles)?
Answer: They allow features to be enabled or disabled in production without redeploying code
Feature flags decouple feature release from code deployment, allowing teams to gradually roll out, A/B test, or instantly disable features without a new deploy.
Which DevOps DORA metric measures the frequency with which an organization successfully releases software to production?
Answer: Deployment frequency
Deployment frequency is one of the four DORA key metrics measuring how often a team successfully deploys to production, indicating delivery throughput.
What does 'value stream mapping' help DevOps teams identify?
Answer: Bottlenecks and waste in the software delivery process from idea to production
Value stream mapping visualizes every step of the software delivery pipeline to identify delays, handoffs, and waste that reduce flow efficiency.
Which practice in DevOps involves deliberately injecting failures into a system to test its resilience?
Answer: Chaos engineering
Chaos engineering, popularized by Netflix's Chaos Monkey, proactively introduces failures to discover weaknesses before they cause real outages.
What is the main goal of 'trunk-based development' in a DevOps workflow?
Answer: Developers commit small, frequent changes directly to the main branch to reduce merge conflicts
Trunk-based development keeps all developers working on a single shared branch with short-lived feature branches, minimizing integration pain and enabling CI.
