Question 20
A pipeline deploys to production immediately after any branch push. What maintenance or governance control BEST reduces recurrence of this problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Audit pipeline changes and approval records. This guards against recurrence because automated execution without authorization can promote unreviewed schema changes. The direct remediation is: Use protected branch triggers, environment approval gates and deployment-specific identities.
Incorrect Answers
Keep ownership mapping updated when teams change. The current task instead requires this action: audit pipeline changes and approval records.
Keep toolchain versions documented and patched. The current task instead requires this action: audit pipeline changes and approval records.
Automate object inventory comparisons in CI. The current task instead requires this action: audit pipeline changes and approval records.
