I bet the application owner is wishing they had a crystal ball to see the future and know which version of Apache to upgrade to. But hey, at least the CMDB is there to save the day with option C. It's like the CI version control superhero, keeping everything in check.

Ah, the age-old question of the Apache Web Server CI. Of course, option C is the correct answer. The CMDB is like a digital librarian, keeping track of all the different versions and reconciling the changes. I just hope the application owner didn't accidentally upgrade to the 'Spicy Salsa' version of Apache instead of the 'Mild Guacamole' one.

This is a tricky one, but I think C is the right answer. The CMDB should be able to handle the version upgrade and update the existing CI. Although, I'm curious if the application owner used the 'Upgrade to the Latest Version' button or if they did a manual update. Either way, the CMDB should be on top of it.

I think so too. As long as the CMDB is properly configured, it should be able to handle the version update without creating duplicates.

I agree, C seems like the most logical option. The CMDB should reconcile the existing CI with the upgraded version.

Hmm, I was thinking the new version would create a duplicate, but option C makes sense. The CMDB is smart enough to reconcile the changes and update the existing CI. Though I wonder if the application owner remembered to clear the cache before running the discovery again...

Ah, I see. The key here is that the application owner upgraded the Apache Web Server to a different version and reran discovery. So option C is correct - the existing Apache Web Server CI will be reconciled with the upgraded version, and its version will be updated.
