Design and implement a DevOps infrastructure

A team wants to enforce that all Azure resource groups in a subscription are tagged with 'CostCenter' and 'Environment'. They need a solution that automatically applies these tags to any new resource group and ensures compliance without manual intervention. What should they use?

A company uses Azure DevOps for CI/CD. They have multiple pipelines that deploy to different environments. They want to ensure that secrets like API keys are not exposed in pipeline logs. What is the best approach?

A company uses Azure Pipelines to build a .NET Core application. The build takes 45 minutes due to dependency restoration. They want to reduce build time. What is the most effective strategy?

A team wants to automatically destroy a temporary test environment after a pull request is merged or closed. What Azure DevOps feature should they use?

A company uses Azure Pipelines to deploy a web app to Azure App Service. They want to ensure that the deployment is first validated in a staging slot before swapping to production. What should they configure?

A team uses Terraform to manage Azure infrastructure. They want to store the Terraform state file securely and enable collaboration. What is the recommended approach?

A company uses Azure DevOps to manage code. They want to enforce that all changes to the main branch must go through a pull request with at least two reviewers. What should they configure?

A company uses Azure Pipelines to deploy microservices to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). They want to implement a canary deployment strategy. What should they use?

Which THREE of the following are valid methods to securely store and use secrets in Azure DevOps pipelines?

Which TWO of the following are benefits of using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) over manual infrastructure management?

Which THREE of the following are prerequisites for implementing a CI/CD pipeline for a .NET Core application?

Which TWO of the following are valid ways to trigger a pipeline in Azure DevOps when a pull request is created?

An Azure Policy is defined as shown in the exhibit. You attempt to create a storage account with HTTPS traffic only set to false. What will happen?

You run the Azure CLI command shown in the exhibit. What is the output?

Your organization uses Azure DevOps to manage a large-scale microservices application deployed to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The application consists of 20 microservices, each with its own code repository and CI/CD pipeline. Recently, the team has been experiencing frequent build failures due to dependency conflicts between microservices when multiple pipelines run simultaneously and try to use the same build agent. The team is using Microsoft-hosted agents with a single agent pool. The builds take an average of 30 minutes each, and there are often 10+ builds queued at the same time. The team wants to reduce build failures and improve build throughput without significant increase in cost. What should they do?

A team is designing a release pipeline for a .NET Core web application. They want to deploy to Azure App Service using a blue-green deployment strategy to minimize downtime. Which Azure App Service feature should they use to implement this?

An organization uses an on-premises Jenkins server to build Docker images and push them to Azure Container Registry (ACR). The security team requires that all images be scanned for vulnerabilities before deployment. The DevOps team needs to automate this scanning after each push. What is the most efficient way to meet this requirement?

A DevOps engineer needs to ensure that only approved Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates are used for deployments. They want to enforce this at the subscription level. Which Azure service should they use?

A company uses Azure DevOps for CI/CD. They have a multi-stage YAML pipeline that builds a Java application, runs unit tests, and deploys to a test environment. The test environment uses an Azure SQL Database. The pipeline currently runs successfully but the team notices that the test database schema is not always up-to-date. They want to apply database migrations automatically as part of the pipeline. Which tool or task should they integrate?

A company is designing an Azure DevOps strategy for a microservices application. They need to ensure that each microservice can be built, tested, and deployed independently. They also want to reuse pipeline components across services. Which TWO practices should they implement?

You are the lead DevOps engineer for a large e-commerce company. The company has a multi-region Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster deployment for its microservices. The current CI/CD pipeline uses Azure DevOps to build Docker images and deploy to AKS via Helm charts. Recently, the team noticed that after a deployment to the West Europe region, the application experienced a 5-minute downtime due to a configuration error where the new pods couldn't connect to the database because the connection string was pointing to a staging database instead of production. The issue was detected manually after a customer reported the outage. The team wants to implement a mechanism to automatically detect such misconfigurations before they affect production traffic. They also want to ensure that if a deployment fails health checks, the previous version is automatically rolled back. The pipeline currently runs all stages in sequence: build, deploy to West Europe, then deploy to East US. The team has a small budget for additional resources. Which approach should the team implement?

Drag and drop the steps to implement a branch policy in Azure Repos for pull requests into the correct order.

Match each Azure Repos policy to its enforcement.

Refer to the exhibit. You have an availability set with two VMs. One VM shows a degraded availability state. What is the most likely impact on application availability?

Refer to the exhibit. You apply this Azure Policy to a subscription. A developer attempts to deploy a VM with SKU Standard_D2s_v3. What is the result?

Refer to the exhibit. You run an ARM template deployment and get the error shown. What is the most likely cause?

Refer to the exhibit. You monitor an Azure App Service web app. At 10:30 AM, you observe a spike in HTTP 5xx errors and response time. Based on the metrics, what is the most likely cause?

Refer to the exhibit. You queue a build in Azure Pipelines. The build status remains 'notStarted' for an extended period. What is the most likely reason?
