Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Reduction in manual cluster configuration errors
Why this is correct
Declarative files in Git replace manual, error-prone configurations.
- ✗
Faster deployment of hotfixes directly to production
Why it's wrong here
Hotfixes should still go through the GitOps pipeline.
- ✗
Automated conversion of Docker images to YAML
Why it's wrong here
This is not a function of Git.
- ✓
Ability to audit all environment changes through commit history
Why this is correct
Git provides a permanent, immutable ledger of all changes.
- ✗
Increased server-side storage capacity
Why it's wrong here
Git is for configuration, not storage.
