You are developing a full Microsoft .NET Framework solution that includes unit tests.
You need to configure SonarQube to perform a code quality validation of the C# code as part of the build pipelines.
Which four tasks should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate tasks from the list of tasks to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Prepare Analysis Configuration
Prepare Analysis Configuration task, to configure all the required settings before executing the build.
This task is mandatory.
In case of .NET solutions or Java projects, it helps to integrate seamlessly with MSBuild, Maven and Gradle tasks.
Step 2: Visual Studio Build
Reorder the tasks to respect the following order:
Prepare Analysis Configuration task before any MSBuild or Visual Studio Build task.
Step 3: Visual Studio Test
Reorder the tasks to respect the following order:
Run Code Analysis task after the Visual Studio Test task.
Step 4: Run Code Analysis
Run Code Analysis task, to actually execute the analysis of the source code.
This task is not required for Maven or Gradle projects, because scanner will be run as part of the Maven/Gradle build.

You are designing YAML-based Azure pipelines for the apps shown in the following table

You need to configure the YAML strategy value for each app. The solution must minimize app downtime.
Which value should you configure for each app? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Correct Answer:

Explanation
App1 Canary and App2 rolling
App1 Canary would minimize app downtime for the first app, as it would only deploy new code when the canary has confirmed that it is functional - and if there are any issues, it would roll back to the previous version of the code.
App2 rolling would be the second option, as it would allow for frequent deployments of new code, while still giving the developers enough time to fix any issues that may have been introduced during new code deployments.

You need to create a notification if the peak average response time of an Azure web app named az400-9940427-main is more than five seconds when evaluated during a five-minute period. The notification must trigger the "https://contoso.com/notify" webhook.
To complete this task, sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.

Correct Answer:

1. Open Microsoft Azure Portal
2. Log into your Azure account and go to App Service and look under Monitoring then you will see Alert.
3. Select Add an alert rule
4. Configure the alert rule as per below and click Ok.
Source: Alert on Metrics
Resource Group: az400-9940427-main
Resource: az400-9940427-main
Threshold: 5
Period: Over the last 5 minutes
Webhook: https://contoso.com/notify

You administer an Azure DevOps project that includes package feeds.
You need to ensure that developers can unlist and deprecate packages. The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which access level should you grant to the developers?

• A.Collaborator
• B.Contributor
• C.Owner

Correct Answer: B

Feeds have four levels of access: Owners, Contributors, Collaborators, and Readers. Owners can add any type of identity-individuals, teams, and groups-to any access level.

You use Azure DevOps to manage the build and deployment of an app named App1.
You have a release pipeline that deploys a virtual machine named VM1.
You plan to monitor the release pipeline by using Azure Monitor
You need to create an alert to monitor the performance of VM1. The alert must be triggered when the average CPU usage exceeds 70 percent for five minutes. The alert must calculate the average once every minute.
How should you configure the alert rule? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: 5 minutes
The alert must calculate the average once every minute.
Note: We [Microsoft] recommend choosing an Aggregation granularity (Period) that is larger than the Frequency of evaluation, to reduce the likelihood of missing the first evaluation of added time series Box 2: Static Box 3: Greater than Example, say you have an App Service plan for your website. You want to monitor CPU usage on multiple instances running your web site/app. You can do that using a metric alert rule as follows:
Target resource: myAppServicePlan
Metric: Percentage CPU
Condition Type: Static
Dimensions
Instance = InstanceName1, InstanceName2
Time Aggregation: Average
Period: Over the last 5 mins
Frequency: 1 min
Operator: GreaterThan
Threshold: 70
Like before, this rule monitors if the average CPU usage for the last 5 minutes exceeds 70%.
Aggregation granularity
