CI/CD Pipeline: This automates the build, test, and deployment process, enabling faster iterations and reducing manual errors. Pre-production Environment: Deploying to a pre-production environment (staging) allows you to test the new pipeline functionality with simulated real-world data. This helps identify and fix potential issues before impacting production. Successful Pipeline Run: Verifying a successful run in the pre-production environment provides confidence that the new pipeline functions as expected.

Unit test is insufficient, there should be a pipeline run.

C. Pre-production environment: Deploying to a pre-production environment before production allows you to thoroughly test the new pipeline's functionality and performance without affecting real-time traffic. Successful pipeline run: This ensures the entire pipeline executes correctly in the pre-production environment, including training, model pushing, and endpoint deployment. No rebuild in production: Rebuilding the source code after a successful pre-production run is unnecessary and adds an extra step that could potentially introduce new errors.

C The best option for continuing experimenting and iterating on your pipeline to improve model performance, using Cloud Build for CI/CD, and deploying new pipelines into production quickly and easily, is to set up a CI/CD pipeline that builds and tests your source code and then deploys built artifacts into a pre-production environment. After a successful pipeline run in the pre-production environment, deploy the pipeline to production. This option allows you to leverage the power and simplicity of Cloud Build to automate, monitor, and manage your pipeline development and deployment workflow.

C. Set up a CI/CD pipeline that builds and tests your source code and then deploys built artifacts into a pre-production environment. After a successful pipeline run in the pre-production environment, deploy the pipeline to production. A - Does not have pre-production environment. B - Unit test is insufficient, there should be a pipeline run. D - (Uncertain) but there's shouldn't be a rebuilding as you have already built and tested successfully, feels redundant to rebuild.
