Your objectives

Hints are always available. Wrong turns never cost XP.

1
Read the case evidence
Read /opt/ai-lab/cases/aiops-serving-resources-017.json. Separate the recorded facts from your assumptions.
Hint & worked example
Serving acceptance requires the actual running version and successful readiness under the intended workload. Do not sign off from configuration alone.
The complete case JSON is read successfully.
```
cat /opt/ai-lab/cases/aiops-serving-resources-017.json
```
Common mistake to avoid: Matching version labels alone prove serving acceptance.
2
Isolate the deciding signal
Select the load_gate_pass field from the case JSON. What does it establish—and what does it not establish?
Hint & worked example
Hold acceptance until the failed load gate is understood.
A successful JSON query isolates load_gate_pass.
```
jq .load_gate_pass /opt/ai-lab/cases/aiops-serving-resources-017.json
```
Common mistake to avoid: Using a different case or an unrelated signal as the justification.
3
Record your operational decision
Choose the justified code: hold-serving-release, change-without-evidence, or ignore-the-signal. Save that one code followed by a newline in /home/learner/lab/aiops-serving-resources-017-decision.txt.
Hint & worked example
Hold acceptance until the failed load gate is understood.
The decision artifact contains the correct code, not just a matching command in history.
```
printf '%s\n' 'hold-serving-release' > /home/learner/lab/aiops-serving-resources-017-decision.txt
```
Common mistake to avoid: Matching version labels alone prove serving acceptance.

Understand the pattern

Serving acceptance requires the actual running version and successful readiness under the intended workload. Do not sign off from configuration alone.

Interpret the evidence

Hold acceptance until the failed load gate is understood.

A tempting mistake

Matching version labels alone prove serving acceptance.

All names, measurements, prices, versions, and thresholds in this exercise are fictional training data. The evidence supports this bounded scenario, not a claim about a live provider.

Worked example and expected result

$ cat /opt/ai-lab/cases/aiops-serving-resources-017.json

{
  "fixture": "Fictional training data; not a live measurement.",
  "running_revision": "r3",
  "manifest_revision": "r3",
  "readiness_pass": true,
  "load_gate_pass": false
}

Exit status: 0. The command completed successfully in the training fixture.

$ jq .load_gate_pass /opt/ai-lab/cases/aiops-serving-resources-017.json

false

Exit status: 0. The command completed successfully in the training fixture.

$ printf '%s\n' 'hold-serving-release' > /home/learner/lab/aiops-serving-resources-017-decision.txt

(no output; exit 0)

Exit status: 0. The command completed successfully in the training fixture.

Try a variation

Name the assumption that would have to change for “hold-serving-release” to stop being the justified action. Do not silently replace missing evidence with a guess.

Explain it

What does the evidence in “Serving and resources checkpoint” justify?Hold acceptance until the failed load gate is understood.Matching version labels alone prove serving acceptance.Make the change now and gather the missing evidence afterward.

Apply it elsewhere

A colleague concludes: “Matching version labels alone prove serving acceptance.” What should you do?Accept it because the training command completed.Treat this fixture as a live measurement.Reject that conclusion; return to the case evidence and its stated limits.

Keep the momentum.

Complete the lab, then explain and apply the pattern.
