Question 350

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: An automated restore task ignores nonzero command exit codes and reports success even when half the files fail to copy. For the Script secret handling and exit-code validation issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.

  1. Running the automation twice produces the same intended end state without duplicate objects.
  2. Use approved secret storage, minimize secret exposure and validate command errors with audit-friendly failure handling.
  3. Restrict PXE and imaging infrastructure to trusted networks and protect signed, versioned images and unattended-install credentials.
  4. Embed production credentials in the script and discard exit codes to keep the pipeline green.
  5. Review repository history, CI log access, token scope, subprocess exit status and operation checksums.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Automated commands must protect credentials and report failures accurately; output success is not evidence of task completion.

E:

These observations investigate the exact Script secret handling and exit-code validation failure rather than unrelated components. Incident: An automated restore task ignores nonzero command exit codes and reports success even when half the files fail to copy.

Incorrect Answers

A:
