CV0-003 Question #683: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is E: Deprecated features. When monthly patches cause playbook commands and manual commands to both stop working, the most likely cause is that the updated software version deprecated or removed the features those commands relied on.
Troubleshooting
Question
A systems administrator has finished installing monthly updates to servers in a cloud environment. The administrator notices certain portions of the playbooks are no longer functioning. Executing the playbook commands manually on a server does not work as well. There are no other reports of issues. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?
Options
- AChange management failure
- BService overload
- CPatching failure
- DJob validation issues
- EDeprecated features
Explanation
When monthly patches cause playbook commands and manual commands to both stop working, the most likely cause is that the updated software version deprecated or removed the features those commands relied on.
Common mistakes.
- A. Change management failure describes a breakdown in the approval or communication process for changes, not a technical outcome where specific commands cease to function after a planned update.
- B. Service overload would produce slow responses or timeouts across multiple systems, not broken individual commands with no other reported performance issues.
- C. A patching failure means the patches did not apply correctly; here the patches applied successfully but the new version removed functionality, which is a different root cause.
- D. Job validation issues relate to scheduling or orchestration-layer problems and would not explain why the same commands fail when executed interactively and directly on a server.
