KCNA · Question #60
What helps an organization to deliver software more securely at a higher velocity?
The correct answer is D. CI/CD Pipeline. A CI/CD pipeline automates the stages of software development, from code integration to delivery, significantly increasing the velocity and security of software releases.

Why each option
A CI/CD pipeline automates the stages of software development, from code integration to delivery, significantly increasing the velocity and security of software releases.
Kubernetes is an orchestrator for containerized applications, enabling scalability and management, but it's a deployment platform, not directly the system that *delivers* software through automated stages.
`apt-get` is a command-line tool for handling packages on Debian-based Linux systems; it's a package manager, not a system for delivering software securely at velocity.
Docker Images are a component within a CI/CD process (the packaging format), but they alone do not encompass the entire process of integrating, testing, and delivering software at velocity with security.
A CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipeline automates the build, test, and deployment phases of software development, allowing for faster and more frequent releases. By integrating security checks throughout the pipeline (e.g., static analysis, vulnerability scanning), it also enhances the security posture of the delivered software.
