   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Scenario: Step 1: Sign in to Azure Devops by using an account that is assigned the Administrator service connection security role. Note: Under Agent Phase, click Deploy Service Fabric Application. Click Docker Settings and then click Configure Docker settings. In Registry Credentials Source, select Azure Resource Manager Service Connection. Then select your Azure subscription. Step 2: Create a personal access token.. A personal access token or PAT is required so that a machine can join the pool created with the Agent Pools (read, manage) scope. Step 3: Install and register the Azure Pipelines agent on an Azure virtual machine. By running a Azure Pipeline agent in the cluster, we make it possible to test any service, regardless of type.

   DRAG DROP - Overview - Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has a main office in Chicago. Existing Environment - Contoso plans to improve its IT development and operations processes by implementing Azure DevOps principles. Contoso has an Azure subscription and creates an Azure DevOps organization. The Azure DevOps organization includes: The Docker extension - A deployment pool named Pool7 that contains 10 Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2019 The Azure subscription contains an Azure Automation account. Requirements - Planned changes - Contoso plans to create projects in Azure DevOps as shown in the following table.

   

   Technical requirements - Contoso identifies the following technical requirements: • Implement build agents for Project1. • Whenever possible, use Azure resources. • Avoid using deprecated technologies. • Implement a code flow strategy for Project2 that will: o Enable Team2 to submit pull requests for Project2. o Enable Team2 to work independently on changes to a copy of Project2. o Ensure that any intermediary changes performed by Team2 on a copy of Project2 will be subject to the same restrictions as the ones defined in the build policy of Project2. • Whenever possible, implement automation and minimize administrative effort. • Implement Project3, Project5, Project6, and Project7 based on the planned changes. • Implement Project4 and configure the project to push Docker images to Azure Container Registry. You need to implement Project6. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order. Select and Place:

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Scenario: Implement Project3, Project5, Project6, and Project7 based on the planned changes Step 1: Open the release pipeline editor. In the Releases tab of Azure Pipelines, select your release pipeline and choose Edit to open the pipeline editor. Step 2: Enable Gates. Choose the pre-deployment conditions icon for the Production stage to open the conditions panel. Enable gates by using the switch control in the Gates section. Step 3: Add Query Work items. Choose + Add and select the Query Work Items gate. Configure the gate by selecting an existing work item query. Note: A case for release gate is: Incident and issues management. Ensure the required status for work items, incidents, and issues. For example, ensure deployment occurs only if no priority zero bugs exist, and validation that there are no active incidents takes place after deployment.

3. Question 53 · 540 in bank

   To resolve the current technical issue, what should you do to the Register-AzureRmAutomationDscNode command?

   • AChange the value of the ConfigurationMode parameter.
   • BReplace the Register-AzureRmAutomationDscNode cmdlet with Register-AzureRmAutomationScheduledRunbook
   • CAdd the AllowModuleOverwrite parameter.
   • DAdd the DefaultProfile parameter.

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   more on this: Specifies how the LCM actually applies the configuration to the target nodes. Possible values are "ApplyOnly","ApplyAndMonitor", and "ApplyAndAutoCorrect". ApplyOnly: DSC applies the configuration and does nothing further unless a new configuration is pushed to the target node or when a new configuration is pulled from a service. After initial application of a new configuration, DSC does not check for drift from a previously configured state. Note that DSC will attempt to apply the configuration until it is successful before ApplyOnly takes effect. ApplyAndMonitor: This is the default value. The LCM applies any new configurations. After initial application of a new configuration, if the target node drifts from the desired state, DSC reports the discrepancy in logs. Note that DSC will attempt to apply the configuration until it is successful before ApplyAndMonitor takes effect. ApplyAndAutoCorrect: DSC applies any new configurations. After initial application of a new configuration, if the target node drifts from the desired state, DSC reports the discrepancy in logs, and then re-applies the current configuration.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Scenario: By default, all releases must remain available for 30 days, except for production releases, which must be kept for 60 days. Box 1: Set the default retention policy to 30 days The Global default retention policy sets the default retention values for all the build pipelines. Authors of build pipelines can override these values. Box 2: Set the stage retention policy to 60 days You may want to retain more releases that have been deployed to specific stages.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   Box 1: A source control system - A source control system, also called a version control system, allows developers to collaborate on code and track changes. Source control is an essential tool for multi-developer projects. Box 2: A hosted service - To build and deploy Xcode apps or Xamarin.iOS projects, you'll need at least one macOS agent. If your pipelines are in Azure Pipelines and a Microsoft-hosted agent meets your needs, you can skip setting up a self-hosted macOS agent. Scenario: The investment planning applications suite will include one multi-tier web application and two iOS mobile applications. One mobile application will be used by employees; the other will be used by customers. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/v2-osx?view=azure-devops
