CV0-004 Deploy a web application quickly and reliably Practice Question
A company needs to deploy a web application quickly and reliably. Which approach is best?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA Cloud+ emphasizes that while manual or semi-automated methods (like manual blue-green) may seem quick, they lack the repeatability, audit trails, and automated rollback that a full CI/CD pipeline provides. Candidates often overlook that 'quick and reliable' in the exam context specifically requires automation and consistency.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a CI/CD pipeline with automated deployment
A CI/CD pipeline with automated deployment is the best approach because it integrates code changes, runs tests, and deploys to production in a repeatable, auditable manner. This ensures speed, consistency, and rollback capability, which are critical for reliable web application deployment in a cloud or on-premises environment.
