Actual exam question for Google's ChromeOS Administrator exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 2

A customer has a mission-critical workload running on ChromeOS and needs devices configured to reduce ChromeOS changes. How can an admin reduce the risk of an unexpected change in an OS update affecting the customer's entire ChromeOS device domain while maintaining security and minimizing admin workload?

AForce auto reboot after update

BEnable variations

CMove to a Long-term Support channel

DAdd an update rollout plan

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Update rollout plans in the Google Admin console allow administrators to gradually roll out ChromeOS updates to a subset of devices first. This allows for testing in a controlled environment before deploying to the entire fleet, reducing the risk of unexpected issues impacting all devices.

Steps to add an update rollout plan:

Access Google Admin Console:Sign in with your administrator credentials.

Navigate to Device Management:Go to Devices > Chrome > Settings > Updates.

Create Rollout Plan:Click on 'Add an update rollout plan.'

Select Devices:Choose the specific devices or organizational units (OUs) to include in the initial rollout.

Set Timeline:Define the start and end dates for the rollout.

Save and Apply:Save the plan and apply it to the selected devices.

I’m a bit confused about the auto reboot option. Wouldn’t that just increase downtime if something goes wrong after an update?
