Read the first 6 CDP Release Management & Deployment Pipelines flashcards as text

  1. Which deployment strategy releases a new version to a small subset of users before a full rollout?

    Answer: Canary deployment

    Canary deployment gradually shifts a small percentage of traffic to the new version to detect issues before full rollout.

  2. In a blue-green deployment, what is the primary role of the 'green' environment?

    Answer: It is the idle standby running the new version

    In blue-green deployments, 'green' is the new version environment that receives traffic once validated, while 'blue' remains live during testing.

  3. What is the purpose of a feature flag in a deployment pipeline?

    Answer: To enable or disable features at runtime without redeploying

    Feature flags allow teams to toggle features on or off at runtime, decoupling code deployment from feature release.

  4. Which artifact versioning strategy is most commonly recommended for CDP exam release pipelines?

    Answer: Semantic versioning (SemVer)

    Semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) provides clear intent about the nature of changes and compatibility.

  5. What does a 'rollback' in a deployment pipeline refer to?

    Answer: Reverting to a previous stable version after a failed release

    A rollback restores a previously known-good version when a new release introduces critical issues.

  6. Which pipeline stage is specifically responsible for publishing built artifacts to a shared repository?

    Answer: Publish/Package

    The Publish or Package stage uploads versioned artifacts (e.g., Docker images, JARs) to an artifact repository for downstream stages to consume.
