ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A development squad deploys containerized microservices to a public cloud and stores all source code in a managed Git service. New images are built automatically when code is merged into the main branch. A recent audit requires that every production image be uniquely traceable back to the exact source revision and that its integrity can be verified later. Which software-configuration-management practice MOST directly satisfies this requirement?
Implement runtime feature toggles so that features can be disabled without redeploying.
Create a cryptographically signed, immutable tag on the commit that generated the release.
Execute the project's full unit-test suite in every pipeline run.
Require pair programming for all merges into the main branch.
Creating a signed, immutable tag on the release commit embeds the exact commit hash in the tag object and protects it with a developer's private signing key. The tag therefore unambiguously identifies the source revision that produced the production artifact and lets auditors later validate that the tag has not been modified. Pair programming, automated unit tests, and feature toggles are valuable engineering practices, but none of them link a binary to a specific, verifiable point in the version history.
