Question 330
An architecture review recommends this solution: Capture resources in versioned CloudFormation or CDK definitions and deploy through reviewed pipelines. The motivating situation is: Cloud infrastructure is built manually for each test environment and nobody knows which resources can be reproduced. Why does this approach fit the stated design constraints?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This principle explains why the prescribed control is appropriate for the described requirement. The matching design action is: Capture resources in versioned CloudFormation or CDK definitions and deploy through reviewed pipelines. The expected supporting evidence is: A fresh environment can be recreated from code with predictable parameters and drift checks.
Incorrect Answers
An all-at-once replacement has unacceptable outage and rollback risk. The stated evidence instead indicates: Console changes have no reproducible declarative infrastructure state.
All consumers wait for a nightly export despite a near-real-time freshness requirement. The stated evidence instead indicates: Console changes have no reproducible declarative infrastructure state.
Dedicated EC2 servers remain the scaling bottleneck for stateless containerized workloads. The stated evidence instead indicates: Console changes have no reproducible declarative infrastructure state.
