A city CI pipeline shows install green, test red with FAILED assertions, then image-build and deploy skipped. An engineer opens the deploy log looking for a down Kubernetes API. What is the correct 4.1 read?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Read the first red light on the street—don’t invent traffic jams past a closed gate. Test already failed; skipped deploy is not “Kubernetes is down.”
Full Explanation
A pipeline with install, test, image-build, and deploy must be diagnosed from the first red job. When test fails and later stages are skipped, the evidence is the test log—not a hypothetical cluster outage or registry problem. Treating skipped deploy as “Kubernetes is down” is the wrong 4.1 read when test already failed.
