Question 1

You have a CI/CD pipeline with jobs: compile, unit_test, integration_test, and release. The release job should only run after both compile and integration_test have completed, but the unit_test job can run in parallel with compile. How do you correctly set up the DAG dependencies in your .gitlab-ci.yml file?

Options :

A :

compile:
  stage: build
unit_test:
  stage: test
integration_test:
  stage: test
release:
  stage: deploy
  needs: ["compile", "integration_test"]

B :

compile:
  stage: build
unit_test:
  stage: test
integration_test:
  stage: test
release:
  stage: deploy
  depends: ["compile", "integration_test"]

C :

compile:
  stage: build
unit_test:
  stage: test
integration_test:
  stage: test
release:
  stage: deploy
  needs: ["compile", "unit_test"]

D :

Answer: A

Question 2

In a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, how can you ensure that a job named deploy will only run after the successful completion of the build and test jobs?

Options :

A : Use the dependencies keyword to specify build and test in the deploy job.

B : Use the before_script keyword in the deploy job to run build and test scripts.

C : Use the stages keyword to define build, test, and deploy stages.

D : Use the needs keyword to specify build and test in the deploy job.

Answer: D

Question 3

In a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, a job named build generates files that will be used in subsequent jobs. How should you configure the pipeline to efficiently use these files in later jobs?

Options :

A : Commit the files to the repository and pull them in subsequent jobs.

B : Use environment variables to store the file paths and access them in subsequent jobs.

C : Use the artifacts keyword to save the files in the build job and retrieve them in subsequent jobs using dependencies.

D : Use the cache keyword to save the files and specify the paths in the subsequent jobs.

Answer: C

Question 4

A team wants to configure GitLab Group Runners for multiple projects but needs to ensure that only specific types of jobs run on them while other jobs should execute on shared GitLab-hosted runners. What is the best way to achieve this?

Options :

A : Configure job-level tags in .gitlab-ci.yml to match the group runner’s tags and define specific jobs to use it.

B : Assign runner tags at the instance level and let projects override them in .gitlab-ci.yml.

C : Configure the group runner as locked so that only default pipeline jobs can use it.

D : Disable shared runners at the group level to force all jobs to run on the group runner.

Answer: A

Question 5

You are managing a complex CI/CD pipeline in GitLab for an application that requires deploying to multiple environments (development, staging, and production). Each environment requires specific configurations and a sequence of deployment steps. Which GitLab feature should you use to manage this process efficiently?

Options :

A : Scheduled Pipelines

B : Environments and Deployments

C : GitLab Runners

D : Git Submodules

Answer: B
