A developer needs to specify a different 'SCD_THREADS' value for the build phase only on the 'staging' and 'production' environments to speed up deployment. Which configuration file allows for setting

Question

Options

• A'composer.json'
• B'.magento.env.yaml'
• C'deploy.json'
• D'.magento/services.yaml'

• C

• D

Explanation

.magento.env.yaml is the correct choice because it is Adobe Commerce Cloud's dedicated configuration file for defining environment variables across different deployment stages (build, deploy, post-deploy) and can be scoped per environment (e.g., staging, production), making it the only option that satisfies all three requirements: stage-specific, environment-specific, and variable-based configuration.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. composer.json manages PHP package dependencies and autoloading - it has no concept of deployment stages or environment variables.
• C. deploy.json is not a real Adobe Commerce Cloud configuration file; it's a fabricated distractor.
• D. .magento/services.yaml defines infrastructure services (MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch) for your cloud environment, not deployment-stage variables.

Memory tip: Think of .magento.env.yaml as your environment's "control panel" - the word env in the filename is a direct clue that it handles environment variables, and yaml's hierarchical structure naturally supports nesting by stage and environment name.
