During the deployment of a cloud infrastructure service, a script that was supposed to automate the configuration of an instance fails to execute correctly. Which of the following is the BEST first action to troubleshoot this script execution issue?
You selected this option
Increase the script's permissions and run the script again to see if it executes correctly.
You selected this option
Review the execution logs to identify any error messages or warnings.
You selected this option
Consult with the author of the script to understand its purpose and design before taking further steps.
You selected this option
Rewrite the script from scratch assuming there is a fundamental flaw in the current version.
Reviewing the logs is the best first action to troubleshoot script execution issues. Logs typically hold detailed error information and can provide insight into what part of the script failed, enabling the identification of the root cause. Testing with increased permissions assumes there is a permission issue, which may not be the case; consulting with the script author is useful but should follow an initial investigation; and rewriting the entire script would be inefficient without knowing the exact cause of failure.
