AB is a global car manufacturer. Management has agreed to spend $20 million on researching a new type of engine that uses liquid hydrogen to power the car. It believes it is important for AB to take a first step in developing this radical and uncertain new technology.
The $20 million will finance the research only and the program will last two years. Providing the research is successful, after two years it would cost a further $40 million to develop a car to sell. This development would take a further three years. Management is concerned that the international car market may not be willing to buy hydrogen powered cars for at least six years from now.
Which of the following options would NOT be available to AB after two years?

  1. To invest a further $40 million in developing a car for sale.
  2. To ignore the research findings and not commercialise any innovations.
  3. To delay investment in building a hydrogen car until the market demand becomes clearer.
  4. To seek to recover the $20 million it has spent because the research has yielded no commercial benefit.

Answer(s): D



BBB operates a national mobile phone (cell phone) network in one country. It is considering investing in upgrading its network to 4th Generation (4G) by providing an improved bandwidth that will enable its customers faster access to the Internet.
The investment will cost $29 million which BBB's institutional investors have agreed to provide by subscribing to a rights issue. This is because management has informed institutional investors that a rival is already offering 4G and that this is taking customers away from BBB because BBB's network is now regarded as too slow. BBB's remaining customers have shown a willingness to pay extra for 4G and overall the investment will have a positive net present value.
Which of the following statements are correct?
Select ALL that apply.

  1. BBB will gain a first mover advantage.
  2. It provides a market development opportunity for BB
  3. There is stakeholder approval for the investment.
  4. It is essential given the strategic threats to BBB.
  5. There are sufficient investment funds available.

LLL is a global passenger airline that needs to invest in a new fleet of aircraft to operate on its routes. There are several types of aircraft to choose between. The new aircraft will have an operating life of 25 years with LLL and therefore management is keen to make the correct decision.
There are several uncertainties that make it difficult for LLL to make this investment decision. Aircraft engine technologies are changing and some manufacturers are developing engines that propel aircraft at much higher speeds, whilst others are developing slower engines that minimise emissions. Concern over global warming is leading governments in some countries to impose heavy taxation on airlines that operate aircraft that have high emissions. The demand for air travel is also changing due to changing income levels between emerging and mature economies as well as the increased use of telecommunications to replace face to face meetings.
Which THREE of the following techniques would you recommend to help LLL make this investment decision?

  1. Scenario planning
  2. Morphological analysis
  3. Cross impact analysis
  4. Porters 5 Forces
  5. Brainstorming

Answer(s): A,B,C



VWX manufactures and sells a wide range of products. All these products utilise lenses and digital imaging technologies. VWX is considering how to manage its product portfolio.
Management is concerned about two product ranges in particular: cameras and home projectors.
VWX's cameras are Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras featuring interchangeable lenses and provide detailed, high quality images of objects both at very close range and at considerable distances. VWX has the largest share of the camera market but the market sales are falling as people increasingly use their mobile phone handsets to take and share photographs. 
VWX has a small share of the home projector market. As a consequence the range is loss making.
The home projectors are used to show photographs or films on large wall-sized formats. There is a growing trend for customers to buy home projectors to connect to mobile phones, tablets and games consoles to project the content into a larger image and in order to share it.
Which THREE of the following product management strategies should VWX adopt?

  1. Cancel or postpone further investment spending on developing new SLR cameras.
  2. Use marketing expenditure to try to make the camera brand to appeal to professional photographers.
  3. Invest in promotional campaigns to encourage people to view and share content using a VWX home projector.
  4. Invest in promotional campaigns intended to convince the general public of the superiority of SLR camera pictures over the images from mobile phone handsets.
  5. Cut promotional expenditure on home projectors to seek to restore the profitability of the range.

Question 1:
Correct answers: C and D

  • C. Generate a summary of key insights from your data
Copilot in Excel can analyze a table or dataset, identify trends and outliers, and summarize important findings using natural-language prompts. For example: “Summarize the main trends in this sales data.”
  • D. Build a pivot table based on your data
Copilot can help analyze structured data and create a PivotTable to organize information by categories, totals, or other fields.
Why the other options are less suitable:
  • A. Customize conditional formatting rules — Excel already provides conditional-formatting tools, but highly specific rule customization is generally a standard Excel task rather than a core Copilot capability tested here.
  • B. Insert a custom chart with specific formatting — Copilot can assist with charts and visualizations, but precise, custom formatting is normally completed manually in Excel.

The answer key’s C and D is consistent with Copilot’s main Excel strengths: data analysis and visualization/structured summarization.

Question 2:
Answer: B — Add-AzVhd
Add-AzVhd uploads a local, generalized .vhd file to an Azure Storage account as a fixed VHD. This was the traditional process for making an on-premises Hyper-V image available in Azure.
Why the other options are not correct:

  • Add-AzVM creates or configures a virtual machine; it does not upload a VHD.
  • Add-AzImage creates an Azure VM image resource from an existing managed disk or snapshot. It does not upload the local VHD itself.
  • Add-AzImageDataDisk is used for adding data disks to an image, not for uploading the operating-system VHD.

In a complete older workflow, you would typically:
  1. Generalize the VM with Sysprep.
  2. Upload the VHD using Add-AzVhd.
  3. Create an Azure image from that uploaded VHD.

So the answer key’s B is correct for the upload step. Modern Azure deployments commonly use managed images, Azure Compute Gallery, or direct managed-disk upload workflows instead.

Question 1:
Correct answer: A — Configure a SetupComplete.cmd file in %windir%\setup\scripts.
SetupComplete.cmd runs automatically near the end of Windows Setup, after the operating system has been installed. It is suitable for running initial configuration scripts on newly deployed VMs.
The batch file can invoke your PowerShell scripts, for example:

cmd 
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\ConfigureVM.ps1

Why the other options are less suitable:
  • Logon GPO: Runs when a user logs on, so it is not guaranteed to perform initial VM configuration before use.
  • Startup GPO: Runs during startup and may run repeatedly. It also depends on the VM being able to contact the domain.
  • Place scripts in a VHD: Merely storing scripts in a disk does not execute them automatically.

The answer key’s choice A is reasonable, but its explanation is misleading: it discusses the Azure Custom Script Extension, which applies to Azure VMs, while this question describes on-premises Hyper-V VMs.

Question 5:
Correct answer: A — The steps
In Value Stream Mapping, you first identify the sequence of steps that work passes through—from the initial request or idea to delivery of value. This establishes the workflow being analyzed.
Once the steps are mapped, the team can then identify:

  • People and roles involved
  • Wait time and processing time
  • Bottlenecks and delays
  • Active Time, Flow Time, and % Complete and Accurate (%C&A)

Why the other options are not first:
  • People who supervise the work: roles are relevant, but they do not define the value flow.
  • Bottlenecks: these are discovered by analyzing the mapped steps and flow data.
  • Active Time, Flow Time, and %C&A: these metrics are collected for the steps after the workflow is understood.

The exam principle is: map the work first, then analyze how efficiently it flows.

What are incident response processes?
Incident response processes are the organized steps an organization follows to identify, manage, and recover from a security incident.
Typical stages are:

  1. Preparation – Create policies, response plans, communication procedures, tools, backups, and training.
  2. Detection and analysis – Identify suspicious activity through alerts, logs, monitoring, or user reports, then determine whether an incident occurred and assess its scope.
  3. Containment – Limit the incident’s impact, such as isolating an affected system or blocking malicious traffic.
  4. Eradication – Remove the root cause, such as malware, compromised accounts, or unauthorized persistence.
  5. Recovery – Restore systems to normal operation, validate that they are secure, and monitor for recurrence.
  6. Lessons learned / post-incident activity – Document what happened, preserve evidence, update controls, and improve the response plan.

For the page’s Question 209, Detection is the first active response stage listed among the choices. However, many formal incident-response frameworks place Preparation before detection as part of the overall lifecycle.

Question 22:
Correct answer: D — It involves bespoke services with a focus on innovation and growth.
In ITIL, a partnership relationship is a close, strategic relationship between organizations. The parties typically:

  • Collaborate toward shared objectives
  • Adapt services to specific needs rather than using only standardized offerings
  • Focus on long-term value, innovation, and mutual growth
  • Share knowledge, risks, and sometimes investment

Why the other options are less suitable:
  • A: Standardized contracts and operational efficiency are more typical of a transactional supplier relationship.
  • B: A partnership can operate at the strategic level, so excluding strategy is incorrect.
  • C: Commercial off-the-shelf services for many consumers describe a more standardized supplier relationship, not a bespoke partnership.

The key distinction is that partnerships are collaborative and strategic, while ordinary supplier relationships are usually more transactional and standardized.

Question 142:
Correct answer: A — Determining the root cause of the incident
The post-incident review—also called a lessons-learned review—analyzes what happened and why. Determining the root cause helps the organization fix the underlying weakness and prevent recurrence.
Why the other options are less suitable:

  • B: Developing steps to mitigate risks — May result from the review, but mitigation planning is generally part of remediation and corrective action.
  • C: Validating evidence accuracy — Occurs during the investigation, before the post-incident review.
  • D: Reestablishing system configuration — This is part of recovery and restoration.

A useful sequence is:
  1. Investigate and validate evidence.
  2. Contain and eradicate the threat.
  3. Recover systems.
  4. Conduct a post-incident review, including root-cause analysis.

Question 26:
Correct answer: C — No, it is the top management’s responsibility to allocate the resources needed for the BCMS.
The answer key shows A, but this appears incorrect.
Under ISO 22301:

  • Top management must demonstrate leadership and commitment to the BCMS.
  • Top management must determine and provide the resources needed to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve the BCMS.
  • A project manager such as Rebecca may coordinate or distribute resources as part of implementation, but she does not hold the organization’s ultimate responsibility for ensuring those resources are available.

Therefore, Rebecca can perform operational resource allocation, but the formal ISO 22301 responsibility rests with top management.

Question 1:
Correct answer: A
The Lambda function should:

  1. Write a structured log entry to CloudWatch Logs containing:
- API operation - Response code - Application version extracted from the User-Agent header
  1. Configure a CloudWatch Logs metric filter to match those log entries and publish a metric.

  1. Use response code and application version as metric dimensions. This lets the company view metrics separately for each application version and response code, such as:
- GetUser / 200 / v2 - GetUser / 500 / v3
Why the other options are incorrect:
  • B: CloudWatch Logs Insights is for querying and analyzing logs; it does not directly populate CloudWatch metrics this way.
  • C: ALB access logs do not automatically contain custom Lambda response metadata in the required form.
  • D: X-Ray Insights is intended for tracing and anomaly analysis, not extracting arbitrary business metrics with these dimensions.

The key concept is using structured application logs plus CloudWatch Logs metric filters to turn log fields into CloudWatch metrics.

Question 2:
Question 2 is about tasks that Microsoft 365 Copilot can perform in Word.

  • C. Generate a summary of the key points in your document — Correct.
Copilot can analyze a document and produce a concise summary, key points, action items, or answers about the document’s content.
  • D. Insert a custom watermark with specific text and formatting — Questionable.
The answer key lists D, but Copilot’s documented Word capabilities focus on drafting, rewriting, summarizing, transforming text, and applying general formatting. Creating a precisely customized watermark is normally a standard Word operation, not a clearly documented Copilot task.
  • A. Insert a table of contents — Not a strong Copilot choice.
Word can generate a table of contents automatically from heading styles without Copilot.
  • B. Customize page margins — Not a Copilot-specific task.
This is standard document formatting performed through Word’s layout controls.
Important: The key’s C,D answer appears unreliable. C is clearly correct, but the question may be poorly written if D is intended as the second answer.

Question 2:
Correct answer: C — Use Amazon Athena directly with Amazon S3.
Athena is a serverless, interactive query service that runs SQL directly against data stored in Amazon S3. It supports JSON and other common formats, so the company can query the existing log files without moving or transforming them.
Why this minimizes operational overhead:

  • No servers or clusters to provision.
  • No data-loading process required.
  • Pay primarily for the data scanned by each query.
  • The existing S3-based architecture remains unchanged.
  • A table definition can be created in Athena, either manually or through the Glue Data Catalog, to describe the JSON structure.

Why the other options are less suitable:
  • A: Redshift requires loading data into a data warehouse and managing additional infrastructure.
  • B: CloudWatch Logs is intended for log collection and monitoring, not direct SQL analysis of existing S3 JSON files.
  • D: Glue plus EMR introduces a data catalog, cluster, and Spark-job management, which is excessive for simple, occasional queries.

The key exam clue is “simple, on-demand queries” + “logs already in S3” + “least operational overhead”—this points to Amazon Athena.

Question 802:
Yes—if the port is a trunk carrying 802.1Q VLANs (e.g., a server NIC configured for VLAN tagging), the per-port option is:

  • switch(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast trunk

This applies PortFast to that specific trunk interface.
Notes:
  • For a typical edge/access port (PC), the usual per-interface command is simply switch(config-if)# spanning-tree portfast, but that exact command isn’t in your list.
  • Global default (option A) affects all ports, not just one.
  • PortFast on trunks bypasses some STP protections, so use with caution and consider BPDU Guard where appropriate.

If you want, I can walk through when to prefer portfast on access vs trunk ports and the associated risks.

Question 2:
For Question 2, the correct concept is C) Machine Learning (ML).

  • Reason: Predicting future buying behavior from browsing history and past purchases is a predictive analytics task best handled by ML, which learns patterns from historical data.
  • Why not NLP or Computer Vision: NLP is for text data; Computer Vision is for images/videos; neither directly fits predicting customer behavior from structured user data.
  • About Deep Learning: DL is a subset of ML, useful for very large or unstructured data; but for typical retail prediction with structured data, general ML approaches are more appropriate and interpretable.

Question 4:
You're right to flag that. The key concept is this:

  • Group-based licensing can be applied to groups in Azure AD, but it only works with security groups. Microsoft 365 groups (formerly Office 365 groups) are not eligible for direct license assignment.

If Group4 and Group5 are actually Microsoft 365 groups, they cannot receive the E5 license directly. The license would only be assignable to the security groups in the list (whatever groups among Group1–Group5 are security groups).
How to verify in your environment:
  • In the Azure portal, go to Groups > select a group > check the Group Type. It will show either "Security" or "Microsoft 365".
  • If you’re using PowerShell/Graph, look for the group type or the presence of a “Unified” group type for M365 groups (security groups won’t have that).

If you can tell me which of Group1–Group5 are security groups vs Microsoft 365 groups, I can pinpoint the exact correct option.

Question 18:
Answer: ODBC (option B)
Explanation:

  • There is no native Cassandra connector in Power BI. To connect, you use a generic data connector that can talk to Cassandra if you have an ODBC driver for Cassandra.
  • ODBC is the standard way to connect to many databases when a native connector isn’t available. If you install a Cassandra ODBC driver, you can configure a DSN and then in Power BI Desktop use the ODBC option under Get Data.
  • The other options aren’t suitable in this scenario:
- Microsoft SQL Server is a different database platform. - OLE DB could work only with a specific OLE DB provider for Cassandra (not common). - OData is for REST/ web services, not Cassandra by default.
Practical steps (high-level):
  • Install a 64-bit Cassandra ODBC driver and configure a DSN.
  • In Power BI Desktop, choose Get Data > ODBC, select the DSN, and connect.
  • Load data and build visuals.

Question 366:
Question 366 asks how to apply an Application Security Group (ASG1) to VM1. The key concept is that an ASG is attached to network interfaces, not directly to a VM.

  • Correct answer: A. Associate NIC1 to ASG1
  • Why: An ASG is used to group NICs so NSG rules can target the group. To apply ASG1 to VM1, you must attach VM1’s NIC (NIC1) to ASG1. Merely modifying the ASG’s properties or modifying NSG1 does not attach the VM’s NIC to the ASG.
  • Why others are wrong:
- B: “Modify the properties of ASG1” does not attach it to the NIC. - C: “Modify the properties of NSG1” changes NSG settings, but not ASG associations.
Quick note:
  • After associating NIC1 with ASG1, you can reference ASG1 in NSG rules as a source or destination to control traffic for VM1’s NIC. Example commands (CLI) or portal steps involve adding the NIC to the ASG.

Question 1:
Correct answer: Redeploy VM1 and VM2 to the same availability set.
Why:

  • A Basic Load Balancer’s backend pool must consist of VMs that are in the same Availability Set. If VM1 and VM2 are in different AVSets (or one isn’t in an AVSet), you can’t add both to LB1’s backend pool. Redeploying/moving both VMs into the same Availability Set resolves this.
  • If you needed cross-AVSet load balancing, you would use a Standard Load Balancer instead.

What to do next (high level):
  • Create or choose a single Availability Set.
  • Move VM1 and VM2 into that AVSet.
  • Add both VMs to LB1’s backend pool.

Question 1:
Here’s a targeted explanation of Question 1.

  • The scenario: You’re deploying several new VMs on on-prem Hyper-V (Windows Server 2012 R2). You’ve got PowerShell scripts to configure VMs after deployment and want them to run automatically on each new VM.

  • Options brief:
- SetupComplete.cmd in %windir%\setup\scripts - A GPO to run as logon scripts - A GPO to run as startup scripts - Put the scripts on a new VHD
  • Why A is the best choice here:
- SetupComplete.cmd runs during Windows Setup (after the OS is installed and before the first logon). If you base new VMs on a generalized image, the script will execute automatically on first boot, ensuring the VM is configured right away without requiring domain login or user interaction. - GPO startup/logon scripts require the machine to be domain-joined and the GPO to be processed at boot or user logon, which adds timing and dependency considerations and may not run reliably during first boot from a generalized image. - Putting scripts on a VHD won’t automatically execute anything unless you explicitly configure a startup process, which is less reliable than using SetupComplete.cmd for first-boot customization.
  • Implementation tip:
- Place a file named SetupComplete.cmd in %WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\ with your PowerShell commands (calling powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File YourScript.ps1, for example). This file runs once when Windows Setup completes on each new VM created from your image.

Question 1:
The correct answer is C.
Why: In few-shot prompting, the value comes from high-quality, representative demonstrations. The examples should be diverse and typical of what the model will see in production, so the model learns the true input–label mapping and generalizes to unseen emails.
Why the other options are less appropriate:

  • A: Using random, unrelated examples does not reflect the actual task distribution and won’t help the model generalize to real inputs.
  • B: “Always use more than 10 examples” isn’t a universal rule; quantity without quality and relevance can add noise.
  • D: Intentionally incorrect labels would mislead the model and degrade performance; you want correct, coherent mappings.

Practical tip: ensure the examples cover common cases and edge cases, use the same input–output format, and keep labels consistent with the task (e.g., Spam vs. Work).

Question 24:
Question 24 asks which three actions are needed to set up intercompany accounting between two legal entities.
The three correct actions are:

  • A) Select intercompany journal names.
  • C) Create intercompany main accounts to use for the due to and due from accounting entries.
  • D) Define intercompany accounting setup by creating legal entity pairs defining originating and destination companies.

Why these are correct:
  • D defines the actual pairing and direction (which entity is originating and which is destination). Without defined pairs, there is no enabled intercompany relationship.
  • C establishes the main GL accounts used for the due-to and due-from postings between the entities, enabling correct cross-entity accounting and audit trails.
  • A standardizes and identifies intercompany postings via dedicated journal names, aiding tracking and reporting.

Why the other options aren’t part of the three actions:
  • B (Configure intercompany accounting in both the originating and destination entities) is not listed as one of the three actions in this question’s solution.
  • E (Configure intercompany accounting in the destination entity only) would be insufficient on its own.

The correct answer is Enabling team.

  • In SAFe, enabling teams are designed to assist other teams by providing specialized capabilities, coaching, and help with adopting new technologies or practices. They focus on enabling proficiency across teams rather than delivering features themselves.
  • Platform teams provide shared services across teams (not primarily about coaching on new tech).
  • Stream-aligned teams are value-stream–oriented and deliver features to customers.
  • Complicated subsystem teams handle a part of the system that requires deep expertise, but not primarily to uplift other teams’ capabilities.

Question 1:

  • Answer: A

  • Why: For a Snowball Edge data-transfer job, the device rental covers the use of the appliance for the initial 10-day period at no extra charge. After those 10 days, AWS charges a daily rental fee for continued use. Data transfer activities (in or out of the appliance) and ongoing use beyond the initial window typically incur separate charges, so options B, C, and D would involve costs. In short, the only option that’s free is using the appliance for the first 10 days.

Question 1:
The best solution is A: Configure a SetupComplete.cmd batch file in the %windir%\setup\scripts directory.
Why this is correct:

  • SetupComplete.cmd runs automatically during Windows setup after OS deployment from a generalized image. When you create new VMs from that image, the script executes on first boot, applying your post-deployment configuration without requiring user interaction.
  • This approach is appropriate for on-prem Hyper-V environments where you’re building and deploying VMs from a prepared image.

Why the other options are less suitable:
  • B (logon scripts): Run only after a user logs on; not guaranteed for first boot or for machines without interactive logon.
  • C (startup scripts via GPO): Can run at startup, but requires domain policy application and may run multiple times or fail if the machine isn’t in a ready state.
  • D (place scripts in a new VHD): Not a scalable or automated method; requires manual steps and doesn’t ensure consistent execution on every new VM.

Note: The provided explanation in the bank references a Azure VM Custom Script Extension, which is not applicable to on-prem Hyper-V. That extension is for Azure VMs, not for local Hyper-V deployments.

  • Why: NFS access is controlled by export-policy rules. If the new ESXi host’s IP isn’t listed in the NFS export policy, the host cannot mount the NFS datastore, even if the volume and LUN are configured correctly.
  • Why the other options don’t solve it:
- A (Add NFSv4 to access protocols): Simply enabling NFSv4 doesn’t grant access if the host isn’t allowed by the export policy. - B (Enable Kerberos in the export policy): Kerberos is related to NFSv4 security, not to basic host access if the host’s IP is blocked. - C (Add SMB/CIFS to the access protocols): SMB/CIFS is unrelated to NFS mounts.
So, ensure the new host’s IP (HOST 3) is allowed by the NFS export policy to fix the mounting issue.

Question 23:
Question 23 describes a multimodal model where users can upload unsafe images that could contain hidden instructions. The goal is to implement controls to mitigate this risk.
Key points to understand

  • Prompt shield for documents: Highly effective. It scans text extracted from inputs (including image text) before it’s sent to the LLM to catch hidden instructions or jailbreaking tries embedded in documents or image-derived text.
  • Prompt shield for user prompts: Partially effective. It blocks direct jailbreak attempts written in the user’s prompt, but doesn’t catch everything, especially content coming from image text.
  • Image moderation: Highly effective. Blocks unsafe or harmful images before they reach the model, preventing many attacks at the source.
  • Protected Material Detection: Not helpful here. It’s designed to detect copyrighted material in outputs, not to protect against inputs that try to manipulate the model.

Why this matters
  • The strongest defense is defense in depth: combine image moderation with both types of prompt shields. The document/text shield catches hidden instructions in extracted image text; the user-prompt shield mitigates jailbreak attempts in user-provided prompts; image moderation stops unsafe images before processing.

On the provided solution note
  • The stated answer (A: “configure a prompt shield for user prompts”) would help, but it alone does not fully meet the goal. A more robust approach is to apply all three controls (document prompt shield, user prompt shield, and image moderation) to achieve stronger risk mitigation.

You need to implement the date dimension in the data store. The solution must meet the technical requirements. What are two ways to achieve the goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Populate the date dimension table by using a dataflow. Populate the date dimension table by using a Copy activity in a pipeline. Populate the date dimension view by using T-SQL. Populate the date dimension table by using a Stored procedure activity in a pipeline.Please answer

  • The two correct options: A and D.

  • Why:
- A. Populate the date dimension table by using a dataflow. A dataflow can generate and load the date dimension data into OneLake (Delta format) as part of the AnalyticsPOC data store, meeting the requirement to load data in one area before modeling, and it supports scheduling for ongoing updates. - D. Populate the date dimension table by using a Stored procedure activity in a pipeline. A pipeline with a Stored Procedure activity can run a T-SQL routine that materializes the date dimension table (2010 through the end of the current year), aligning with the need for deterministic population and orchestration.
  • Note: B (Copy in a pipeline) would require a source, and C (date dimension view via T-SQL) is feasible but not selected here; the two stated options are the ones identified as correct for this question.

Question 14:

  • Correct selections: B and E

Why:
  • B. Admin access to the deployment pipeline: This gives the developers the ability to manage and run deployments within the pipeline, enabling them to deploy content to the Development and Test stages.
  • E. Contributor access to the Development and Test workspaces: This level allows them to deploy items into the Development and Test workspaces as required, while preventing deployments to Production.

Notes:
  • If you also need the developers to view Production, grant them Viewer access to the Production workspace (not part of the two required options, but needed to satisfy the “view Production” requirement).
