Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Tagging specific repository commits to mark official production releases or maintenance versions
Why this is correct
Git tags provide immutable reference points for specific production-deployed configuration states.
- ✗
Directly committing experimental production changes to the master branch without review
Why it's wrong here
Directly committing untested changes to production branches violates DevOps governance and CI/CD best practices.
- ✓
Storing network device configuration templates as plain text files in a repository
Why this is correct
Plain text storage enables diff tracking, version history, and automated code review.
- ✓
Submitting configuration changes through pull requests or merge requests for peer review
Why this is correct
Pull/merge requests enable collaborative code review and automated CI pipeline gates before merging.
- ✗
Encrypting all configuration text files using binary compressed archives inside Git
Why it's wrong here
Binary compression prevents Git from showing text diffs and defeats the purpose of version control transparency.
