Question 5

After successfully deploying a patch update in your SAS Viya environment, how would you confirm that the updated components are functioning as expected without affecting current users' workflows?

Options :

A : Immediately direct all users to perform their regular tasks and monitor system performance.

B : Use a phased approach by gradually introducing subsets of users to the updated system while monitoring performance metrics and log files.

C : Revert the system to its pre-patch state and compare the performance against the updated system.

D : Independently validate the updated components using automated tests designed for post-patch verification without involving active users.

Answer: D
