Question 38
Application DeliveryWhat is a common trigger for a Continuous Integration pipeline?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A Continuous Integration pipeline commonly starts when a developer pushes a code commit to version control. This matches the idea of CI as an automated process that runs after changes are submitted, often from a repository like Git. A commit push is a standard event used to trigger builds and tests immediately.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. A schedule running once per week.
B. A manual button click by the project manager.
C. A code commit pushed to the version control repository (e.g., Git).
In CI systems, the standard event hook is a repository update, most commonly a push to the version control branch, which immediately starts the automated build-and-test sequence. This is the canonical trigger used by tools such as Git-based pipelines because it detects new commits as soon as they are submitted, rather than waiting for a manual run or scheduled job.
D. A new vulnerability discovered in a base image.
E. A successful deployment to the production environment.
