During a routine vulnerability patch deployment, you notice significant performance issues in a critical application server. What is the best immediate action to ensure the system's stability?
Isolate the server from the network to prevent potential propagation of issues.
Continue monitoring the server for a longer period to gather more data before taking any action.
Rollback the patch to restore the application to its previous state.
Apply additional patches to address the performance issues.
Rolling back the patch is the best immediate action when you notice significant performance issues after a deployment. This action helps return the system to its prior stable state while allowing further investigation and testing of the patch in a controlled environment. Evaluating performance impact in a test environment first is a good preventive measure, but once issues arise in production, rolling back is the most effective immediate response.
