Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D, E

Two benefits of DevOps are fewer defects and less time spent fixing security issues. DevOps is a mindset, culture, and set of technical practices that supports the integration, automation, and collaboration needed to effectively develop and operate a solution. DevOps helps break down organizational silos and develop a Continuous Delivery Pipeline --- a high-performance innovation engine capable of delivering market-leading solutions at the speed of business. DevOps has many benefits for the enterprise, such as:

Fewer defects -- DevOps improves the quality and consistency of the solution by enforcing frequent testing and validation throughout the solution lifecycle. DevOps applies various testing techniques and tools, such as unit testing, integration testing, acceptance testing, performance testing, and security testing, to verify that the solution meets the functional and nonfunctional requirements and standards. DevOps also enables early detection and resolution of defects, by implementing fast and frequent feedback loops within and across the value stream. DevOps reduces the cost and risk of defects, by shifting quality left and building quality in, rather than inspecting quality out.

Less time spent fixing security issues -- DevOps enhances the security and compliance of the solution by integrating security practices into the value stream. DevOps applies the DevSecOps approach, which emphasizes the importance of proper information security practices in the pursuit of continuous delivery. DevSecOps involves applying automated tools and processes to detect and respond to security threats and vulnerabilities in the development and production environments, and ensuring compliance with security policies and standards. DevSecOps also involves collaborating with security teams and stakeholders, to foster a culture of shared responsibility and awareness for security.DevSecOps reduces the time and effort spent on fixing security issues, by shifting security left and building security in, rather than bolting security on8

The key is to focus on the core principles of DevOps, like faster deployment and higher quality. I think I can narrow it down to the right two answers.

Investment-specific risk? That doesn't sound right. I'm pretty sure that's just the risk associated with a particular asset, not the overall market risk. I'm leaning towards systematic risk for this one.

This seems like a straightforward question about when an organization should fully embed MoV. I think the key is to look for when the scale and frequency of MoV applications justifies an internal delivery capability.
