GitHub Foundations — Question 9

You need to create new workflows to deploy to an unfamiliar cloud provider. What is the fastest and safest way to begin?

Answer options

• A. Create a custom action to wrap the cloud provider's CLI.
• B. Search GitHub Marketplace for verified actions published by the cloud provider.
• C. Use the actions/jenkins-plugin action to utilize an existing Jenkins plugin for the cloud provider.
• D. Search GitHub Marketplace for actions created by GitHub.
• E. Download the CLI for the cloud provider and review the associated documentation.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using verified actions from the cloud provider in GitHub Marketplace ensures that you are using reliable and tested solutions, which speeds up the deployment process. Option A may require more time for development and testing, while C relies on a specific Jenkins plugin that may not be necessary. Options D and E do not directly leverage the cloud provider's resources in the most efficient manner for workflow creation.
