Practice questions
Why do DevOps teams use branches and pull requests instead of committing directly to production code?
Branches and pull requests create a controlled review path for testing, security checks, discussion, rollback context, and release traceability before changes reach production.
What is the main purpose of a CI/CD pipeline?
To automate build, test, package, security checks, deployment, and release feedback so changes can move safely and repeatably.
Why is rollback planning important in DevOps?
Because production changes can fail; a rollback or recovery path reduces downtime and makes releases safer.
