1. Question 401 · 540 in bank

   You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

   

   Project produces npm packages that are published to Feed1. Feed1 is consumed by multiple projects. You need to ensure that only tested packages are available for consumption. The solution must minimize development effort. What should you do?

   • ACreate a feed view named @release and set @release as the default view. After the npm packages test successfully, configure a release pipeline that promotes a package to the @release view.
   • BCreate a feed view named @release and set @release as the default view. After the npm packages test successfully, configure a release pipeline that tags the packages as release.
   • CCreate a feed view named @default. After the npm packages test successfully, configure a release pipeline that tags the packages as release.
   • DCreate a feed view named @default. After the npm packages test successfully, configure a release pipeline that promotes a package to the @default view.

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/concepts/best-practices?view=azure-devops#create-and-publish-packages To make a package available to early adopters, you can select it from your feed and promote it to the @prerelease view. Once you've deemed the package to be of sufficient quality for a full release, you can promote it to the @release view. By promoting package versions to a view, you can prevent them from being deleted by retention policies.

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Obsolete question. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/policies/retention#what-parts-of-the-run-get-deleted "Universal packages, NuGet, npm, and other packages are not tied to pipelines retention." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/how-to/delete-and-recover-packages#delete-packages-automatically-with-retention-policies "To free up storage space, you can set up retention policies to automatically delete old packages." That's an option in Azure Artifacts feed details

3. Question 403 · 540 in bank

   Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You need to recommend an integration strategy for the build process of a Java application. The solution must meet the following requirements: ✑ The builds must access an on-premises dependency management system. ✑ The build outputs must be stored as Server artifacts in Azure DevOps. ✑ The source code must be stored in a Git repository in Azure DevOps. Solution: Configure the build pipeline to use a Hosted VS 2019 agent pool. Include the Java Tool Installer task in the build pipeline. Does this meet the goal?

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   The answer is "Yes" If configured the hosted agent pool will be able to reach the on premise management system https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/agents?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser

4. Question 404 · 540 in bank

   DRAG DROP - You have an Azure DevOps pipeline that is used to deploy a Node.js app. You need to ensure that the dependencies are cached between builds. How should you configure the deployment YAML? 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.

   

   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.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   I think we are overthinking this one and it's typical MS confusing question. They probably want similar answer as on the given link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/caching?view=azure-devops#conditioning-on-cache-restoration So basically install dependencies (npm install) IF cache NOT restored. Therefore: - npm install - ne(variables.CACHE_RESTORED, 'true') The build.sh would be below above script

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Step 1: Delete and recreate the repository. Step 2: Add Config.json to the .gitignore file Each line in the .gitignore excludes a file or set of files that match a pattern. Example: # ignore a single file Config.json - Step 3: Run the git add .gitignore command At the initial commit we want basically move from Untracked to Staged, for staging we have to indicate which file we want to move or specify a pattern, as example: Reference: http://hermit.no/how-to-find-the-best-gitignore-for-visual-studio-and-azure-devops/ https://geohernandez.net/how-to-add-an-existing-repository-into-azure-devops-repo-with-git/

7. Question 407 · 540 in bank

   You are designing a build pipeline in Azure Pipelines. The pipeline requires a self-hosted agent. The build pipeline will run once daily and will take 30 minutes to complete. You need to recommend a compute type for the agent. The solution must minimize costs. What should you recommend?

   • Aan Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster
   • BAzure Container Instances
   • Can Azure virtual machine scale set
   • DAzure virtual machines

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Should be C It requires self-hosted agent rather than Microsoft-hosted agent. It is better to use scale set according to the following link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/agents?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser Azure virtual machine scale set agents Azure virtual machine scale set agents are a form of self-hosted agents that can be auto-scaled to meet your demands. This elasticity reduces your need to run dedicated agents all the time. Unlike Microsoft-hosted agents, you have flexibility over the size and the image of machines on which agents run. You specify a virtual machine scale set, a number of agents to keep on standby, a maximum number of virtual machines in the scale set, and Azure Pipelines manages the scaling of your agents for you. For more information, see Azure virtual machine scale set agents.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1; tag - Tagging. Like most VCSs, Git has the ability to tag specific points in a repository's history as being important. Typically, people use this functionality to mark release points (v1.0, v2.0 and so on). Box 2: -a - Creating an annotated tag in Git is simple. The easiest way is to specify -a when you run the tag command: Example: $ git tag -a v1.4 -m "my version 1.4" Box 3: -m - Reference: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging
