AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (DOP-C02) — Question 376

A company produces builds for an open source project every day. The company hosts the open source project in a public code repository that the company supports. The company manually invokes a pipeline in AWS CodePipeline to build artifacts for the project. The company wants to make the build artifacts publicly available on a website that the company hosts in an Amazon S3 bucket.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Answer options

• A. Create an AWS CodeBuild project. Set the public repository as the source. Use a webhook to rebuild when the company pushes a code change. Configure the artifacts section of the project to use the S3 bucket as the destination. Set up an appropriate path to store build outputs in the bucket. Disable artifact encryption.
• B. Create an AWS CodeBuild project. Set the public repository as the source. Configure the artifacts section of the project to use the S3 bucket as the destination. Ensure that artifact encryption is enabled in the artifacts configuration. Configure an Amazon EventBridge rule to initiate the CodeBuild project on a daily schedule.
• C. Add a new stage to the end of the pipeline. Configure the stage to include an action to publish artifacts to the S3 bucket. Update the pipeline to run in response to pull requests to the public repository.
• D. Add a new stage to the end of the pipeline. Configure the stage to include an action to publish artifacts to the S3 bucket. Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to initiate the pipeline on a daily schedule.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is the most efficient solution because it builds upon the existing AWS CodePipeline by adding a simple S3 deploy stage, and automates the daily execution using an Amazon EventBridge cron schedule. Options A and B introduce unnecessary operational overhead by creating a brand-new AWS CodeBuild project from scratch. Option C is incorrect because running the pipeline on every pull request does not satisfy the daily build requirement.
