Practice questions

Why is asset inventory foundational for systems management?

You cannot reliably patch, secure, monitor, back up, or retire systems unless you know what exists, who owns it, and what state it is in.

What should be validated after a patch window?

Confirm service health, system logs, monitoring alerts, application checks, backup state, and rollback readiness.
