Your team Is excited about the use of AWS because now they have access to programmable Infrastructure" You have been asked to manage your AWS infrastructure in a manner similar to the way you might manage application code You want to be able to deploy exact copies of different versions of your infrastructure, stage changes into different environments, revert back to previous versions, and identify what versions are running at any particular time
(development test QA. production).
Which approach addresses this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Use cost allocation reports and AWS Opsworks to deploy and manage your infrastructure.
• B. Use AWS CloudWatch metrics and alerts along with resource tagging to deploy and manage your infrastructure.
• C. Use AWS Beanstalk and a version control system like GIT to deploy and manage your infrastructure.
• D. Use AWS CloudFormation and a version control system like GIT to deploy and manage your infrastructure.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because AWS CloudFormation allows you to define and provision AWS infrastructure as code, enabling version control and the ability to revert changes. Options A and B do not provide the same level of infrastructure management and versioning capabilities. Option C, while it includes GIT, does not focus on infrastructure as code management like CloudFormation does.
