- A
Check CodeDeploy Console → Review Agent Logs → Validate AppSpec File → Verify Instance Configuration → Redeploy
This is correct because troubleshooting should start with the most accessible source (console) for broad errors, then move to detailed logs on the instance, then validate the deployment definition (AppSpec), then check instance readiness, and finally attempt a redeploy after fixes.
- B
Review Agent Logs → Check CodeDeploy Console → Validate AppSpec File → Verify Instance Configuration → Redeploy
Why wrong: This is incorrect because agent logs should be examined after the console, as the console provides an overall view and may point to specific instances or phases needing log review.
- C
Validate AppSpec File → Check CodeDeploy Console → Review Agent Logs → Verify Instance Configuration → Redeploy
Why wrong: This is incorrect because the AppSpec file should be validated after identifying issues from console or logs, not before checking the console for high-level error indicators.
- D
Redeploy → Check CodeDeploy Console → Review Agent Logs → Validate AppSpec File → Verify Instance Configuration
Why wrong: This is incorrect because redeploying without troubleshooting would likely repeat the same failure; proper diagnosis must precede any redeployment attempt.
DOP-C02 Resilient Cloud Solutions Practice Question
This DOP-C02 practice question tests your understanding of resilient cloud solutions. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Drag and drop the steps to troubleshoot a failed deployment in AWS CodeDeploy into the correct order.

Correct answer & explanation
Check CodeDeploy Console → Review Agent Logs → Validate AppSpec File → Verify Instance Configuration → Redeploy
Troubleshooting starts with console, then agent logs, then AppSpec, then instance configuration, then redeploy.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
- Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
- Underline the problem statement mentally.
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
