Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 62

What should a CI/CD pipeline aim to achieve?

Answer options

• A. to require minimal manual interaction
• B. to allow manual testing before deployment
• C. to support new deployments on a fixed monthly schedule
• D. to provide a documented process for feedback

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a CI/CD pipeline is designed to automate the integration and delivery processes, minimizing the need for human intervention. Options B and C go against the principles of CI/CD, which emphasize automation and continuous delivery rather than scheduled manual testing or deployments. Option D, while important for quality assurance, does not capture the main objective of reducing manual effort in the pipeline.
