Options :

A : A separate team is created which includes people previously from the platform and application teams to solve all problems for the organization.

B : Platform teams delegate appropriate permissions to the application teams to allow them to selfmanage and resolve any underlying infrastructure and application-related problems.

C : Platform teams are responsible for investigating and resolving underlying infrastructure problems whilst application teams are responsible for investigating and resolving application-related problems.

D : Platform teams are responsible for investigating and resolving all problems related to the platform, including application ones, before the app teams notice.

Answer: C

Question 5
