IBM IBM Certified Deployment Professional C5050-062 Questions & Answers

• Question 21:

  A customer shows interest in IBM UrbanCode Deploy (UCD) but seems hesitant about purchasing IBM's solution. What should you share as the main value propositions to help this customer adopt UCD?

  A. With UCD, you will be able to accelerate your release pace to get to market faster, decrease expensive failures, and scale for growth.

  B. UCD will ensure that your developers will produce bug-free code each time they check in.

  C. UCD will map your enhancement requests, defect work items, and feature changes to requirements.

  D. UCD will raise the social media presence for your company by at least 20% in the first year of use.

  Correct Answer: A

  IBM UrbanCode Deploy helps you accelerate your time to market, drive down deployment costs, reduce risks and achieve continuous delivery. References: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ucdep

• Question 22:

  Which three tasks are typically performed by an environment owner who uses IBM UrbanCode Deploy to establish a deployment pipeline? (Select three.)

  A. Performs tests on applications in this environment

  B. Installs agents on the resources in environment

  C. Previews changes in environment

  D. Rolls back changes to environment

  E. Captures inventory compliance status

  Correct Answer: BCD

  C: You can preview an application snapshot before you deploy it to see the upcoming changes in resources and properties.

  D: Rollback Component rolls back a component version to the version in a snapshot or to the version that was deployed when the process began. In most cases, to switch to a different version of a component, you deploy the new version over the existing version. If necessary, you can run the uninstallation process for the component first.

• Question 23:

  What is an agent?

  A. An agent is a logical user-defined construct that represents a target for deployments.

  B. An agent can be either a logical or physical representation of a deployed application.

  C. An agent is a pre-defined construct that represents a server targeted for deployments.

  D. An agent is a lightweight process that runs on the target host and communicates with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.

  Correct Answer: D

  An agent is a lightweight process that runs on a deployment-target host and communicates with the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.

• Question 24:

  You have multiple application environments sharing the same resource. What will you see in the inventory of this resource?

  A. Only the versions of components deployed from one application

  B. All versions of all components deployed from the sharing applications

  C. Last versions of all components deployed from the sharing applications

  D. Only the last version of the component deployed from the application that was used last

  Correct Answer: B

  The intention is that you could look at the resource tree on the environment detail page to see all versions currently deployed to resources in that environment.

• Question 25:

  What happens when a new version of a plugin is loaded which adds new properties to a process' steps?

  A. Nothing happens because the process continues to use the older versions of the process steps (the step code is embedded in the process definition).

  B. The user must repair the process by using each modified step's properties editor to define the new properties.

  C. The user may define values for new properties when the process is invoked.

  D. IBM UrbanCode Deploy provides a message that the previously-defined process is obsolete and needs to be repaired.

  Correct Answer: A

  Note: A process step has access to properties set earlier by other steps within the process, to properties set by the application that started the component process, and to properties on the target environment and resource. Step property values become unavailable after the component process ends.

• Question 26:

  Which IBM UrbanCode Deploy executable is invoked by command-line scripts?

  A. udeploy

  B. ucdeploy

  C. udclient

  D. udserver

  Correct Answer: C

  If IBM UrbanCode Deploy does not have a source configuration type for your build system, you can use the udclient command-line client to manage components.

• Question 27:

  What should be defined in an IBM UrbanCode Deploy application?

  A. Components, Baselines and Environments

  B. Components, Environments and Processes

  C. Components, Snapshots and Recourses

  D. Agents, Versions and Resources

  Correct Answer: B

  Applications are responsible for bringing together all the components that must be deployed together. Applications do this task by defining the different versions of each component and defining the different environments that the components must go through on the way to production. In addition, applications also map the constituent hosts and systems (called resources) that a component needs within every environment. Applications also implement automated deployments, rollbacks, and similar tasks. These tasks are called processes. However, at the application level, processes are concerned only with the components and resources that are necessary for deployment, and related tasks

• Question 28:

  What are common problems and challenges that customers face concerning release and deployment?

  A. Manual handoffs, disconnected environments, high costs and difficulty knowing current status

  B. Low virtualization, high network latency, poor installation documentation, and requirements that are difficult to understand

  C. Poorly aligned business releases and capabilities, low visibility, slow decisions and slow to adapt to changes

  D. Unclear project status, low test coverage, high testing costs (e.g. MIPS use) and poor quality of applications in production

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 29:

  What is the best use of snapshots?

  A. To identify dependences between agents for an application

  B. To identify application resources that are related

  C. To identify versions of application components that should be deployed together

  D. To identify allowed property types and configurations

  Correct Answer: C

  A snapshot is a collection of specific versions of components and processes. Typically, a snapshot represents a set of component versions that are known to work together. In most cases, snapshots include all of the components in an application.

• Question 30:

  How do you orchestrate deployments to target environments?

  A. You use multiple component deployment processes, one for each environment. An application process defines which component process should be executed for a specific environment.

  B. You use a switch steps on each deployment process. The switch defines what resource should be used in a determined environment.

  C. You define an application. The application maps resources to environments. The same component process can be executed on all environments.

  D. You create a selector on the deployment process. The selector chooses the correct resources and agents, based on the environment.

  Correct Answer: C

  Specify where components are deployed by adding a resource or resource group to the environment.

  Then, map the components to those resources.

  Note:

  Resources and resource groups identify the agents that do the work of deploying components, and provide

  other configuration information. You must identify the resources for the environment and then specify

  which components run on which resources.
