AZ400-Q: preserve deployment compliance evidence
An auditor needs proof that a production release passed required checks. What should the pipeline retain?
- A) Immutable or access-controlled links to approvals, checks, artifact version, source revision, and deployment result. ✓
- B) Only a success emoji in chat.
- C) The build agent’s temporary disk.
- D) The latest source branch name. Answer: A. Evidence must identify the exact change and decision trail. Why not the others: Chat, ephemeral storage, and mutable branches are insufficient.
