Environments

Universal Containers (UC) seeks guidance on how frequently it should refresh its sandboxes. UC currently follows a development lifecycle that begins with developer environments and progresses through integration testing, QA testing, UAT, and finally production. Many scrum teams work concurrently, and the teams disagree about when refreshes should take place.

Which two recommendations should the architect make?

Choose two
  • A Sandboxes should be refreshed on the day when the refresh is allowed for that type of sandbox
  • B Development environments should generally be refreshed after each working feature has been successfully migrated
  • C Integration sandboxes should be refreshed rarely because of the burden of maintaining the various API
  • D Production is the only pristine environment
Explanation

Production is the authoritative pristine source for sandbox copies; lower environments can contain in-progress or stage-specific changes. Refreshing an integration sandbox replaces the existing environment and can require re-establishing environment-specific connections and API integrations, so it should be done rarely and deliberately rather than on every available refresh date or after each feature migration.
