QUESTION: 21

You have recently started a new job at a retailer as an engineer. As part of this new role, you have been tasked with evaluating multiple outages that occurred during peak shopping time during the holiday season.

This has led to inconsistent configuration between each compute instance.
How would you solve this using infrastructure as code?

Implement a ticketing workflow that makes engineers submit a ticket before manually provisioning and configuring a resource
Implement a checklist that engineers can follow when configuring compute instances
Replace the compute instance type with a larger version to reduce the number of required deployments
Implement a provisioning pipeline that deploys infrastructure configurations committed to your version control system following code reviews
