A DevOps team wants to package code, scripts, and configuration files for deployment across multiple environments. Which solution offers an archive format that is recognized by many tools, is easy to transfer, and does not rely on specialized dependencies when extracting?
Applying a ZIP archive for all files
Merging files into a branch shared by every system
Building a container image for each environment
Packaging everything into a script that combines the contents
An archive created under this format is managed by many build pipelines, travels well between different operating systems, and does not need additional software. A script alone would not standardize how files are combined. Merging all assets into a single repository branch is not a packaging approach. A container-based option may introduce overhead instead of providing a simple compressed artifact. Using an archive addresses portability, reduces the number of steps, and is compatible with many workflows.
