This DOP-C02 practice question tests your understanding of sdlc automation. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.
Which THREE actions can be performed using the AWS CLI for CodeDeploy? (Choose three.)
create-deployment
The CLI can create a deployment.
get-deployment
The CLI can get details of a deployment.
push-revision
Why wrong: There is no push-revision command; revisions are pushed to S3.
list-deployment-groups
The CLI can list deployment groups.
register-instance
Why wrong: Instance registration is for on-premises instances, but not a typical action.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
create-deployment
The AWS CLI for CodeDeploy supports creating deployments, listing deployment groups, and getting deployment details. Creating an application is also possible, but the question asks for actions; pushing revision is done via S3 or GitHub, not directly via CLI. Registering instances is done via the console or AWS CLI with the register-on-premises-instance command, but that is for on-premises instances. The three correct are create-deployment, list-deployment-groups, and get-deployment.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
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.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
There is no push-revision command; revisions are pushed to S3.
Detailed technical explanation
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.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
