   DRAG DROP - You have a GitHub repository named repo1 that stores the code of an app named App1. You need deploy a workflow for repo1 by using GitHub Actions. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Scan on pushes to the main branch. • Scan on pull requests to the main branch. • Scan on pull requests to any branch that has a prefix of releases/. • Scan all the files in the subdirectories of the src directory. • Exclude scanning of markdown files. How should you complete the code? To answer, drag the appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   Explanation

   Box 1 'releases/**' matches branches that start with "releases/" and can have any number of levels of directory structure after the prefix. It matches branches like "releases/v1", "releases/stable", and "releases/v1/bugfix" because it allows any level of subdirectories after the "releases/" prefix. Box 2 **/*.md: This pattern matches any file with the .md extension in any directory and its subdirectories. The ** is a wildcard that represents any level of directories. So, for example, it would match files like file.md, subdir/file.md, subdir/subdir2/file.md, and so on. Box 3 src/**: This pattern matches any file or directory within the src directory and its subdirectories. The ** is a wildcard that represents any level of directories. So, for example, it would match files or directories like src/file.txt, src/subdir/file.txt, src/subdir/subdir2/file.txt, and so on.

   You have a GitHub repository that contains multiple versions of an Azure Pipelines template. You plan to deploy multiple pipelines that will use a template stored in the repository. You need to ensure that you use a fixed version of the template. What should you use to reference which version of the template repository to use?

   • Athe serial
   • Bthe SHA-based hashes
   • Cthe runner
   • Dthe branch

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Answer is correct: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/templates?view=azure-devops#use-other-repositories If you want to use a particular, fixed version of the template, be sure to pin to a ref. The refs are either branches (refs/heads/ ) or tags (refs/tags/ ). If you want to pin a specific commit, first create a tag pointing to that commit, then pin to that tag.

   Select 2

   Your company uses Azure DevOps for the build pipelines and deployment pipelines of Java-based projects. You need to recommend a strategy for managing technical debt. Which two actions should you include in the recommendation? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   • AConfigure post-deployment approvals in the deployment pipeline.
   • BConfigure pre-deployment approvals in the deployment pipeline.
   • CIntegrate Azure DevOps and SonarQube.
   • DIntegrate Azure DevOps and Azure DevTest Labs.

   Show answer

   Answer: BC

   Explanation

   Is there a correct answer at all among those options? Checking for technical debt tasks should be an automated task (via SonarQube). But deployment approvals are for manual action by a team member. For automated check it should have been: implementing a pre-deployment gate with SonarQube action. Since there is not such option, the closes one is B&C.

8. Question 238 · 540 in bank

   DRAG DROP - You use Git for source control. You delete a file, commit the changes, and continue to work. You need to recover the deleted file. Which three commands should you run in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate commands from the list of commands to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

   

   This is an interactive task on the real exam — a drag-and-drop, hotspot or ordering question. There is nothing to select here, so the answer is shown below for reference.

   Show the answer figure

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   The question says "you continue to work" after you committed the deletion, which means you have in progress changes. In order not to lose those changes, you would need to run a git stash command. To get the hash of the commit that deleted the file, run git log. git checkout [hash]~1 will get 1 commit prior to the commit that deleted the file, which will recover the file. git restore is not needed. So I think the right answer is: git stash git log git checkout [hash]~1

    Answer: See figure below

    Explanation

    is this question relevant? Gitflow is a legacy Git workflow that was originally a disruptive and novel strategy for managing Git branches. Gitflow has fallen in popularity in favor of trunk-based workflows, which are now considered best practices for modern continuous software development and DevOps practices. Gitflow also can be challenging to use with CI/CD. This post details Gitflow for historical purposes.
