1. You have an active development team (Team A) building enhancements for an application (App X'). and ate currently using the TEST environment for UAT.
A separate operations team ('Team B) discovers a critical error in the Production instance of App X that they must remediate However. Team 6 does not have a hotfix stream for which to accomplish this The available environments are DEV. TEST, and PROD Which risk mitigation effort should both teams employ to ensure Team AS capital project is only minorly interrupted, and Team B s critical fix can be completed and deployed quickly to end users?

A) Team 8 must address the changes directly in PROD. As there is no hotfix stream, and OEV and TEST are being utilized for active development it is best to avoid a conflict of components. Once Team A has completed their enhancements work. Team 6 can update DEV and TEST accordingly.
B) Team 8 must address changes in the TEST environment These changes can then be tested and deployed directly to PROD. Once the deployment is complete. Team B can then communicate their changes to Teams to ensure they are Incorporated as a part of the next release.
C) Team 8 must communicate to Team A which component will be addressed in the hotfix to avoid overlap of changes It overlap exists, the component must be versioned to its PROD state before being remediated and deployed, and then versioned back to its latest development state If overlap does not exist, the component may be remediated and deployed without any version changes
