A development team released a new version of an application and wants to deploy it to the cloud environment with a faster rollback and minimal downtime. Which of the following should the cloud administrator do to achieve this goal?
A. Use a rolling deployment to update all the servers in the PROD cloud environment with the new application. To switch to the previous version, repeat the process.
B. Deploy the application to the PROD cloud environment and the previous version to QA. To switch to the previous version, promote the QA environment to PROD.

Which of the following terms BEST describes the action taken by the IT department?
A. LAN optimization
B. WAN optimization
C. Load balancing
D. Bandwidth compression
