An organization has onboarded a new business unit whose role is to test the applications 5 days prior to the release date. The Service Broker administrator should allow a 2-day extension for these…

Question

Options

• AA maximum lease of 5 days
• BA maximum lease of 7 days
• CA total maximum lease of 7 days
• DA total maximum lease of 5 days
• EA grace period of 5 days

• A
  84% (31)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)
• E
  11% (4)

Explanation

Options A and C are correct because the lease policy must address two distinct requirements: the initial testing window and the maximum allowed lifetime of a deployment. A maximum lease of 5 days (A) caps the initial deployment duration to exactly the testing period needed before release. A total maximum lease of 7 days (C) then permits the 2-day extension the admin wants to grant (5 + 2 = 7), while still enforcing a hard ceiling after which the deployment is permanently deleted.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (maximum lease of 7 days) would let deployments run for 7 days from the start, not 5, which doesn't align with the testing window requirement.
• D (total maximum lease of 5 days) would cap the total lifetime at 5 days, leaving no room for the 2-day extension.
• E (grace period of 5 days) is a different concept - a grace period is a buffer after lease expiration before deletion occurs, not a control over the lease duration itself.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-layer ceiling. The maximum lease = the initial grant (5 days = the testing window). The total maximum lease = initial + all extensions combined (5 + 2 = 7 days). Whenever you see a base period plus an extension, you need both controls.
