Surprised FP is the top choice, I thought T&M was more flexible!

Cost reimbursable (CR) could lead to overspending, not ideal here.

Fixed price (FP) is definitely the way to go for detailed requirements!

I have a vague memory of time and material contracts being used for projects with evolving requirements, which makes me lean away from C.

I practiced a similar question where fixed price was recommended for well-defined projects. I think B is definitely the way to go!

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like cost reimbursable contracts are better for projects with uncertain requirements. So maybe A isn't the best here?

I remember discussing that fixed price contracts are usually best when requirements are clear and detailed, so I think B might be the right choice.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the details and think about how the Azure policy will interact with the existing NSGs.

This is a straightforward question, I'll go with option C. It makes sense to size the resources based on the latest documented recommendations plus the specific requirements of the applications being automated.

Okay, let me see. I believe the SDA is responsible for updating the SKMS with new known errors, as well as reporting on the incident performance of resolver groups. But I'm not 100% sure about the other responsibilities.

Okay, let me think this through. We're migrating to Cloud DNS, so we want to use the `gcloud dns record-sets import` command. The question mentions a BIND zone file, so I'm guessing we don't need to delete all the existing records. I'll go with option A.

I'd go with the cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) contract. That way, the project manager can recoup their costs and still make a decent profit. It's a win-win!

Hold on, what about time and material (T&M)? That way, the project manager can bill for the actual time and resources used, which could be better for a complex software project.
