• Chose B6

  B. Golden images "Golden images" refers to a specific method of deployment where a pre-configured image of an operating system or application is stored and used as a base for all new deployments. This method is not a key principle of Infrastructure as Code, but it is a common method of deployment in traditional IT environments. Infrastructure as Code is based on the following key principles: A. Versioned infrastructure - The infrastructure is treated as code and is version controlled, allowing for auditing, rollback, and collaboration. C. Idempotence - The infrastructure is provisioned in a repeatable and predictable manner, making it possible to run the provisioning scripts multiple times without creating additional resources or causing changes to existing resources. D. Self-describing infrastructure - The code used to provision the infrastructure is human-readable and self-documented, making it easier to understand and maintain over time.

• Chose B3

  Golden images are not a key principle of infrastructure as code (IaC). Golden images refer to a pre-configured and standardized system image that contains all the necessary software and settings to run a particular application or service. While they are commonly used in traditional server management and virtualization, they are not inherently related to infrastructure as code.
