After several successful deployments of your App Engine applications in a Standard Environment, a broken version has been deployed, and the developers are unavailable. What is the quickest method to restore the site to a functioning state?
Explanation:
The correct approach is to revert the traffic to a previously deployed version by using the Traffic Splitting feature in the GCP console. This allows you to direct 100% of the traffic to a single, stable version, effectively bypassing the broken deployment. The gcloud app
command does not support rollback or revert functionalities, making options B and C incorrect. Additionally, the GCP console does not offer a direct Rollback button on the versions page, rendering option D invalid. Traffic splitting is a powerful feature for managing deployments, enabling A/B testing and controlled feature rollouts by distributing traffic among versions.
