Google Cloud Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer — Question 143

You are reviewing your deployment pipeline in Google Cloud Deploy. You must reduce toil in the pipeline, and you want to minimize the amount of time it takes to complete an end-to-end deployment. What should you do? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a trigger to notify the required team to complete the next step when manual intervention is required.
• B. Divide the automation steps into smaller tasks.
• C. Use a script to automate the creation of the deployment pipeline in Google Cloud Deploy.
• D. Add more engineers to finish the manual steps.
• E. Automate promotion approvals from the development environment to the test environment.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Answer B is correct because breaking down automation steps into smaller tasks can streamline processes and reduce complexity, which helps in minimizing toil. Answer E is also correct as automating approval processes significantly shortens deployment time. Options A and D involve increasing manual processes or team size, which does not effectively reduce toil or time, while option C focuses on automation setup rather than improving the existing pipeline efficiency.
