Answer choices

  1. a. Add a canary release on the existing production stage: 10% to the new Lambda integration and 90% to the current integration.
  2. b. Lambda compares artifact SHA-256 checksums across pipelines after the UAT build; both deployment stages use the same AWS CloudFormation template to provision environments.
  3. c. Flux/Argo CD on EKS or CodePipeline to cluster
  4. d. AWS CodeBuild with privileged mode only when needed

Architectural breakdown & explanation

CodeBuild scales build fleet elastically. Compare with Flux/Argo CD on EKS or CodePipeline to cluster: GitOps reconciles cluster state from Git.

Correct answer(s): d. AWS CodeBuild with privileged mode only when needed
