CV0-003 Question #266: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A system's application servers need to be patched. The requirements for maintenance work are as follows: System downtime is not allowed. The application server in use must be in the sane patch status. System performance must be maintained during patching work. Testing after patching must be done before the application server is in use. If any trouble occurs, recover the previous version in ten minutes. Which of the following methodologies should be selected?

Options

  • ARolling update
  • BPatching directly
  • CBlue-green deployment
  • DThree staging environments

Explanation

All five stated requirements - zero downtime, uniform patch status on active servers, maintained performance, pre-production testing, and 10-minute rollback - are precisely what blue-green deployment is designed for. In blue-green: traffic runs on the live environment (blue) while the new patches are applied and tested on the idle environment (green); when validation passes, traffic is switched instantly (zero downtime); all servers in each environment are uniformly patched at all times (satisfying the same-patch-status requirement); the full blue environment remains available for immediate rollback within seconds if needed. Rolling update (A) violates the same-patch-status requirement because production servers exist at different patch levels simultaneously during the rollout. Patching directly (B) causes downtime. Three staging environments (D) describes a QA pipeline (dev/staging/prod) but does not inherently address zero-downtime switching or rapid rollback; it is an environment promotion model, not a deployment strategy. Blue-green deployment is the correct answer.
