Try 3 AutoOps+ AT0-001 (V1) practice questions
Choose an answer, explore the explanation, and see why the other options are less suitable. Three short scenarios. No sign-in required.
1. Publishing a local commit
An administrator updates an infrastructure script, stages the changes, and commits them locally. The local main branch is now one commit ahead of origin/main, and the approved change must be published to the shared remote repository. Which Git command should the administrator use?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: B — git push origin main.
Why B is correct
The local commit already exists, so the remaining requirement is to publish it to the remote repository. git push origin main sends the local main branch update to the main branch on the remote named origin. Git documents push as the operation that updates remote references and transfers the associated objects needed by the remote. The clue is that the local branch is ahead of origin/main rather than missing remote changes. Assuming the remote accepts the update, pushing is therefore the operation that completes the requested workflow.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — git fetch origin: Fetch retrieves remote references and objects without publishing the local commit. It is useful for learning about remote changes, but it does not send this approved change to the shared repository.
- C — git pull origin main: Pull fetches remote changes and integrates them into the current branch. It may be appropriate when the local branch needs updates from the remote, but it does not perform the requested publication of the local commit.
- D — git add .: Add stages working-tree changes for a future commit. The scenario states that the changes were already staged and committed, so repeating that step does not update the remote repository.
Key takeaway: Commit records a change locally; push publishes the relevant local branch updates to a remote repository.

2. Updating one API field
An automation client manages a JSON resource through a REST API. It needs to change only the resource's desired replica count while leaving all other fields unchanged, and the API supports standard HTTP methods. Which method is the best fit?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: D — PATCH.
Why D is correct
PATCH is used to apply partial modifications to an existing resource. The requirement is to update one field while leaving the rest of the representation unchanged, which directly matches a partial update. CompTIA includes PATCH among the REST methods candidates should use for CRUD-related operations. By contrast, PUT is conventionally used to replace the current representation with the request content. The stated need for a targeted change makes PATCH the best fit among the available methods.
Why the other options are less suitable
- A — GET: GET retrieves a representation of a resource and is not intended to apply the requested modification. It could be used first to inspect the resource, but it would not update the replica count.
- B — POST: POST submits data to a resource and commonly creates a subordinate resource or invokes processing defined by the API. An API can define POST differently, but the scenario asks for the standard method for a partial update to an existing resource.
- C — PUT: PUT is normally used to replace the current representation of the target resource with the supplied representation. It is less suitable when the explicit requirement is to change only one field without replacing the full resource representation.
Key takeaway: When a REST API supports standard semantics, PATCH is the method associated with partial modification of an existing resource.
3. Switching between deployment environments
A team deploys a new application version to a separate environment that mirrors production, validates it, and then redirects production traffic to that environment. If problems appear, traffic should be switched back quickly to the unchanged previous environment. Which delivery method best matches this plan?
Answer and full explanation
Correct answer: A — Blue-green deployment.
Why A is correct
Blue-green deployment uses two separate environments so a new version can be prepared alongside the version currently serving production. After validation, production traffic is redirected from the existing environment to the new one. Because the previous environment remains available, rollback can be performed by directing traffic back to it if the release has problems. CompTIA lists blue-green as one of the delivery methods in Objective 4.1. The scenario's two parallel environments and traffic switch are the decisive clues.
Why the other options are less suitable
- B — Canary deployment: Canary deployment introduces a new version to a limited subset of users or traffic before expanding exposure. It can reduce deployment risk, but the scenario describes switching between two complete environments rather than gradually increasing traffic to a small canary group.
- C — Rolling deployment: A rolling deployment replaces instances or nodes incrementally while service remains available. It does not inherently preserve a complete parallel previous environment for an immediate traffic-level switch back.
- D — In-place deployment: An in-place deployment updates the existing environment directly. That approach conflicts with the requirement to stage the new release separately while keeping the prior production environment unchanged for rapid rollback.
Key takeaway: Blue-green delivery separates old and new production environments so traffic can be switched forward or back between them.

Requirements
- CompTIA recommends 2–3 years of experience in a core IT operations role, such as network, cloud, or systems administration, and recommends Network+, Linux+, Cloud+, Server+, or similar certifications.
- If automation topics are unfamiliar, combine question practice with foundational study and your own exercises using scripting, Git, REST APIs, configuration management, IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment workflows.
- You will need an internet-connected device, a current web browser, and an ExamsDigest account to use the online practice product; this does not imply bundled offline access or a separate mobile app.

What our students say
“I used the AutoOps+ practice questions to review Git, APIs, automation workflows, and CI/CD concepts before my exam. The explanations helped me understand where my reasoning was going wrong instead of just showing me the correct answer.”
Daniel Mercer
✓ Verified Review
“The scenarios were useful for spotting gaps in areas like configuration management, REST methods, and deployment strategies. Reviewing the explanations after each question made my study sessions much more focused.”
Elena Whitmore
✓ Verified Review
“I had already studied automation and DevOps concepts from other resources before trying ExamsDigest. What stood out to me was how clearly the answer explanations connected each option back to the actual requirement in the scenario.”
