   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. How should you complete the code? To answer, drag he appropriate values to the correct targets. Each value may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

   

   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 know a previous question had a reference to .md files, but this one does not. One of the requirements is: Scan all the files in the subdirectories of the src directory. Emphasis here on SUBDIRECTORIES, so we dont want files from the src directory itself? So would that mean the 3rd field is: src/* This leaves us with the logic: includes says "include all files in src directory and its subdirectories", and then the paths-ignore acts on top of that and removes the files in the src directory, but leaves the subdirectory files in place So: 1. - 'releases/**' 2. - 'src/**' 3. - 'src/*'

   You use Azure Pipelines to build and test code projects. You notice an increase in cycle times. You need to identify whether agent pool exhaustion is causing the issue. What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   • AQuery the PipelineRun/PipelineRuns endpoint.
   • BQuery the TaskAgentPoolSizeSnapshots endpoint.
   • CView the Pipeline duration report.
   • DView the pool consumption report at the organization level.

   Show answer

   Answer: BD

   Explanation

   B. Query the TaskAgentPoolSizeSnapshots endpoint. D. View the pool consumption report at the organization level. Option B is correct because querying the TaskAgentPoolSizeSnapshots endpoint can give you insight into the usage of your agent pool over time. This can help identify if and when your agent pool is becoming exhausted. Option D is correct because viewing the pool consumption report at the organization level gives you an overview of how your agent pool is being used across the entire organization. If you notice that the pool is consistently being fully utilized, this could indicate that you're not having enough agents available to handle all the tasks, leading to increased cycle times.

3. Question 483 · 540 in bank

   You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure pipeline named Pipeline1 and a GitHub repository named Repo1. Repo1 contains Bicep modules. Pipeline1 deploys Azure resources by using the Bicep modules. You need to ensure that all releases comply with Azure Policy before they are deployed to production. What should you do?

   • ATo Pipeline1, add a step that runs a What if deployment before the deployment step.
   • BConfigure a deployment gate for Pipeline1 that uses Azure Automation to run a What If deployment.
   • CCreate an Azure DevOps build that runs on the creation of a pull request and assesses the code for compliance.
   • DConfigure a deployment gate for Pipeline1 and include the Azure DevOps Security and compliance assessment task.

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Option D is the correct choice because it involves configuring a deployment gate in Azure DevOps Pipeline1 and using the Azure DevOps Security and compliance assessment task as part of the gate. By including this task in the deployment gate, you can assess the resources and configurations against Azure Policy before allowing the deployment to proceed to production. This ensures that all releases comply with Azure Policy before they are deployed to production.

   DRAG DROP - You use Semantic Versioning (SemVer) as a dependency versioning strategy. You perform changes to code as shown in the following table.

   

   Which part of the version should you increment for each change? To answer, drag the appropriate parts to the correct changes. Each part 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

   Regardless of whether the incompatibility is minor or significant, if a change is not backward-compatible, you should increment the MAJOR version. So all three should be Major. https://semver.org/

   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 have an Azure pipeline that is used to deploy a web app. The pipeline includes a test suite named TestSuite1. TestSuite1 is used to validate the operations of the web app. TestSuite1 fails intermittently. You identify that the failures are unrelated to changes in the source code and execution environment. You need to minimize troubleshooting effort for the TestSuite1 failures. Solution: You enable flaky test management. Does this meet the goal?

   • AYes
   • BNo

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Flaky Test Identification: When enabled, Azure Pipelines automatically identifies tests that exhibit inconsistent behavior (pass/fail) across multiple runs without code or environment changes. These tests are marked as "flaky" in the test results.

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Flaky is correct. TIA Function: Test Impact Analysis focuses on optimizing test execution by selecting only the relevant tests to run based on code changes. It helps improve pipeline efficiency and reduce overall test runtime.

8. Question 488 · 540 in bank

   You plan to publish build artifacts by using an Azure pipeline. You need to create an .artifactignore file that meets the following requirements: • Includes all files in the build output folder and all subfolders • Excludes files that have the .dll extension What should you include in the file?

   • A./** !*.dll
   • B**/* !*.dll
   • C*/** *.dll
   • D**/* #*.dll

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/reference/artifactignore?view=azure-devops That link has a similar example to what is shown in B. To note, the wording on the requirements is counter-intuitive. When the requirements say "Includes all files in the build output folder and all subfolders", I believe that is referring to including it in the .artifactignore file, the result of which is that all of those files in all of those subfolders will be ignored when publishing the build artifacts. Only .dlls will be published, which makes logical sense

   HOTSPOT - You have a GitHub repository. You plan to use the repository to create a container. You need to configure GitHub Actions to deploy the container to GitHub Container Registry. How should you complete the script? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

   Show the answer figure

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   I believe the answer is correct. The link below mentions the login method having that "echo GITHUB_TOKEN" language. GITHUB_TOKEN is a installation access token, kind of like a PAT. It even recommends to use GITHUB_TOKEN in lieu of a PAT for GitHub Actions. The following section talks about pushing the container, using syntax similar to the 3rd given answer. The article is about pushing containers, so its assuming the container is built already. But of the remaining options, 2 are other login methods and 1 is a pull, which we dont need to do when deploying. So build must be the other option used, and it goes before the push. Usually it goes docker login, docker build, docker push. https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry
