You have an automation script that deploys extra compute resources in a cloud environment when a usageThreshold variable is above 70. Despite usageThreshold being well below 70, the script continues to create more instances. Which action ensures the script provisions extra compute only when usageThreshold is correctly exceeded?
Surround usageThreshold with quotes
Convert usageThreshold to a numeric type before the comparison
Use a longer deployment interval
Place the conditional logic in a separate function
Ensuring that the usageThreshold variable is treated as a numeric value helps the script correctly compare the threshold. If the variable were a string, the comparison could be misread (e.g., "9" is greater than "70" using string logic). Adjusting timeouts, placing the statement in a separate function, or enclosing the variable in quotes do not fix the type mismatch that leads to flawed deployments.
