AZ400-Q: identify the exact release source

A build artifact version 2.4.0 was deployed. Auditors need a stable source reference for the code that produced it. What should the release process record?

  • A) An immutable Git tag or commit SHA linked to the artifact and deployment evidence. ✓
  • B) The developer’s current local branch name only.
  • C) The latest commit on main at audit time.
  • D) An unversioned screenshot of the pipeline.

Answer: A. An immutable tag or commit SHA identifies a specific source state and can be linked to the artifact and deployment.

Why not the others: Local branches and current main can change. Screenshots are weak evidence.
