1. Question 461 · 540 in bank

   You have an Azure subscription that contains 50 virtual machines. You plan to manage the configuration of the virtual machines by using Azure Automation State Configuration. You need to create the Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration files. How should you structure the code blocks?

   • ANode > Configuration > Resource
   • BConfiguration > Resource > Node
   • CResource > Configuration > Node
   • DConfiguration > Node > Resource

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Correct, I agree with you. -Configuration -Node -Resource "A configuration script consists of the following parts: The Configuration block. This is the outermost script block. You define it by using the Configuration keyword and providing a name. In this case, the name of the configuration is MyDscConfiguration. One or more Node blocks. These define the nodes (computers or VMs) that you are configuring. In the above configuration, there is one Node block that targets a computer named TEST-PC1. The Node block can accept multiple computer names. One or more resource blocks. This is where the configuration sets the properties for the resources that it is configuring. In this case, there are two resource blocks, each of which call the WindowsFeature resource." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/configurations/configurations?view=dsc-1.1#configuration-syntax

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   D is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/integrations/microsoft-teams?view=azure-devops The Azure Pipelines app for Microsoft Teams lets you monitor events for your pipelines. You can set up and get notifications in your Teams channel for releases, pending approvals, completed builds, and so on. You can also approve releases from within your Teams channel.

   Explanation

   I think second option should be "output of the continuous integration build" First, "Linked artifact" is not a variable. Is one of the options of the Template Location parameter Second, the linked template is located in $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/variables#system System.DefaultWorkingDirectory "The directory to which artifacts are downloaded during deployment of a release. The directory is cleared before every deployment if it requires artifacts to be downloaded to the agent. Same as Agent.ReleaseDirectory and System.ArtifactsDirectory." The artifact is created by the build pipeline (CI) https://www.andy-barnes.co.uk/create-an-azure-devops-release-pipeline-for-arm-template-deployment/ Also, the Template parameter should include the file name of the template (or a pattern), not just a folder. I think that part is wrong in the screenshot. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/azure-resource-group-deployment-v2 (read csmFile parameter)

   1. job 2. stage 3. pipeline root 4. pipeline settings UI https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml%2Cbatch#variable-scopes In the YAML file, you can set a variable at various scopes: - At the root level, to make it available to all jobs in the pipeline. - At the stage level, to make it available only to a specific stage. - At the job level, to make it available only to a specific job. When you define a variable at the top of a YAML, the variable is available to all jobs and stages in the pipeline and is a global variable. Global variables defined in a YAML aren't visible in the pipeline settings UI. Variables at the job level override variables at the root and stage level. Variables at the stage level override variables at the root level.

6. Question 466 · 540 in bank

   You have a project in Azure DevOps named Project1 that contains two environments named environment1 and environment2. When a new version of Project is released, the latest version is deployed to environment2, and the previous version is redeployed to environment1. You need to distribute users across the environments. The solution must meet the following requirements: • New releases must be available to only a subset of the users. • You must gradually increase the number of users that can access environment2. What should you use?

   • AVIP swaping
   • Bweb app deployment slots
   • CAzure Load Balancer
   • DAzure Traffic Manager

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   I think it is D) Traffic Manager, because with Traffic Manager, you can distribute traffic according to one of several traffic routing methods, e.g. priority routing, weighted routing, etc. This relates to one of the conditions about a subset of users. With e.g., weighted routing, one can have traffic distributed to the subset, but with deployment slots, you cannot have that -- all the traffic is switched from one slot to the other and vice versa. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods

    Answer: See figure below

    Explanation

    thats right: Close the Queries dialog box. The Log Search pane opens with a query region scoped to your Automation account resource. The records for DSC operations are stored in the AzureDiagnostics table. To find nodes that aren't compliant, type the following query. Kusto Copy AzureDiagnostics | where Category == "DscNodeStatus" | where OperationName contains "DSCNodeStatusData" | where ResultType != "Compliant" Filtering details: Filter on DscNodeStatusData to return operations for each State Configuration node. Filter on DscResourceStatusData to return operations for each DSC resource called in the node configuration applied to that resource. Filter on DscResourceStatusData to return error information for any DSC resources that fail.
