Note: The question is included in a number of questions that depicts the identical set-up. However, every question has a distinctive result. Establish if the solution satisfies the requirements.
You run the Register-AzureRmAutomationDscNode command in your company's environment.
You need to make sure that your company's test servers remain correctly configured, regardless of configuration drift.
Solution: You set the -ConfigurationMode parameter to ApplyOnly.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: `ConfigurationMode=ApplyOnly` applies the DSC configuration but does not monitor or remediate configuration drift after the initial successful application. To keep servers correctly configured regardless of drift, a mode such as `ApplyAndAutoCorrect` is required. Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the goal.
Question 249
DRAG DROP -
You are configuring the Azure DevOps dashboard. The solution must meet the technical requirements.
Which widget should you use for each metric? To answer, drag the appropriate widgets to the correct metrics. Each widget 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.
Select and Place:
Explanation: Velocity compares planned versus completed work across iterations. Release pipeline overview shows release status. Query tile displays a query count/summary metric on the dashboard.
Question 250
You have a project in Azure DevOps that has a release pipeline.
You need to integrate work item tracking and an Agile project management system to meet the following requirements:
✑ Ensure that developers can track whether their commits are deployed to production.
✑ Report the deployment status.
✑ Minimize integration effort.
Which system should you use?
A. Asana
B. Basecamp
C. Trello
D. Jira
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Jira is the best fit because Azure DevOps provides built-in integration with Jira for work item tracking and deployment information. This enables developers to track whether commits have been deployed to production and supports deployment status reporting with minimal integration effort. Asana, Basecamp, and Trello do not provide the same level of native Azure DevOps integration for these software delivery scenarios.
Question 251
You have an Azure solution that contains a build pipeline in Azure Pipelines.
You experience intermittent delays before the build pipeline starts.
You need to reduce the time it takes to start the build pipeline.
What should you do?
A. Enable self-hosted build agents.
B. Create a new agent pool.
C. Split the build pipeline into multiple stages.
D. Purchase an additional parallel job.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Intermittent delays before a pipeline starts are commonly caused by waiting for a Microsoft-hosted agent to be allocated. Using self-hosted build agents avoids the provisioning delay because your own agent is already available (assuming it is online). Purchasing additional parallel jobs primarily addresses queueing caused by concurrency limits, whereas the question focuses on startup delays before execution begins rather than running more builds concurrently. Creating a new agent pool or splitting the pipeline into stages does not directly reduce startup latency.
Question 252
You plan to use Terraform to deploy an Azure resource group from a Windows system.
You need to install the required frameworks to support the planned deployment.
Which two frameworks should you install? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Vault
B. Terratest
C. Node.js
D. Yeoman
E. Tiller
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B, D
Explanation: The expected supporting frameworks/tools for this Azure Terraform workflow are Terratest and Yeoman. Terratest is a Go-based framework used to test Terraform modules, including Azure deployments. Yeoman is a scaffolding framework commonly used in Azure developer tooling to generate project structure. Vault is for secrets management, Node.js is a runtime rather than a required Terraform framework for deploying a resource group, and Tiller is the deprecated Helm v2 server component unrelated to Terraform.
Question 253
HOTSPOT -
You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that runs Linux.
You plan to deploy the Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension to VM1.
You need to grant the Log Analytics agent the appropriate directory permissions.
How should you complete the command? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Show Answer
Correct Answer: rwx
/tmp
Explanation: For Azure Automation DSC on Linux, the Log Analytics agent (omsagent) requires read, write, and execute permissions on /tmp because DSC temporarily downloads and verifies modules there before installation.
Question 254
You have a project in Azure DevOps.
You plan to deploy a self-hosted agent by using an unattended configuration script.
Which two values should you define in the configuration script? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. authorization credentials
B. the project name
C. the deployment group name
D. the organization URL
E. the agent pool name
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, D
Explanation: For unattended configuration of an Azure DevOps self-hosted agent, you must provide the Azure DevOps organization URL and authentication credentials (commonly a PAT) so the agent can register. Project name, deployment group name, and agent pool name are scenario-specific and not universally required for basic agent configuration.
Question 255
You have a project in Azure DevOps.
You create the following YAML template named Template1.yml.
steps:
- script: npm install
- script: yarn install
- script: npm run compile
You create the following pipeline named File1.yml.
parameters:
usersteps:
- task: MyTask@1
- script: echo Done
You need to ensure that Template1.yaml runs before File1.yml.
How should you update File1.yml?
Explanation: The provided template is a steps template, so it must be inserted within the pipeline's steps list using the `- template:` syntax. This causes the template's steps (`npm install`, `yarn install`, `npm run compile`) to execute before the subsequent task and script. `extends` is used for extending from a full pipeline template, not for including a steps template. Among the options, D is the one that places the template before the other steps.

Question 256
HOTSPOT -
You need to configure the alert for VM1. The solution must meet the technical requirements.
Which two settings should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate settings in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Explanation: To alert when CPU usage remains high, set the threshold to 80% and evaluate over a 15-minute aggregation period. The other settings remain at their defaults (Greater than, Average, Every 1 minute).
Question 257
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 need to recommend an integration strategy for the build process of a Java application. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ The build must access an on-premises dependency management system.
✑ The build outputs must be stored as Server artifacts in Azure DevOps.
✑ The source code must be stored in a Git repository in Azure DevOps.
Solution: Configure the build pipeline to use a Microsoft-hosted agent pool running a Linux image. Include the Java Tool Installer task in the build pipeline.
Does this meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The solution does not meet the requirements because a Microsoft-hosted agent is not an appropriate choice when the build must access an on-premises dependency management system unless connectivity is explicitly established. The requirement is best met with a self-hosted agent that has network access to the on-premises resources. Storing source in Azure DevOps Git and publishing Server artifacts are supported, but the proposed hosted agent does not satisfy the on-premises access requirement.
