AI0-001 AI Implementation and Operations Practice Question
An MLOps team automates model deployment with a CI/CD pipeline. A performance regression is detected after deploying a new model version. The team needs to automatically roll back to the previous version. Which approach best enables safe automated rollback?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between preserving artifacts (storage) and enabling automated traffic switching (deployment strategy), so candidates mistakenly choose Option D thinking storage alone ensures rollback capability.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a blue/green deployment with automated health checks and traffic switching
Blue/green deployment with automated health checks and traffic switching is the best approach because it allows the team to instantly route all traffic back to the previous (green) environment if the new (blue) version fails health checks. This ensures zero-downtime rollback without manual intervention, directly addressing the need for safe automated rollback in a CI/CD pipeline.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use a blue/green deployment with automated health checks and traffic switching
Why this is correct
Blue/green allows instant rollback by redirecting traffic.
- ✗
Maintain a manual rollback script that the operations team can run
Why it's wrong here
Manual processes are not automated and can be slow.
- ✗
Deploy new models as canary releases and monitor for 24 hours
Why it's wrong here
Canary is gradual but rollback may not be fully automated.
- ✗
Automatically keep the previous model version in storage for later use
Why it's wrong here
Storage alone doesn't handle traffic switching.
