Pass the Microsoft Microsoft Azure AZ-400 Questions and answers with CertsForce

Box 1: Scrum

Choose Scrum when your team practices Scrum. This process works great if you want to track product backlog items (PBIs) and bugs on the Kanban board, or break PBIs and bugs down into tasks on the taskboard.

Box 2: Agile

Choose Agile when your team uses Agile planning methods, including Scrum, and tracks development and test activities separately. This process works great if you want to track user stories and (optionally) bugs on the Kanban board, or track bugs and tasks on the taskboard.

Box 3: CMMI

Choose CMMI when your team follows more formal project methods that require a framework for process improvement and an auditable record of decisions. With this process, you can track requirements, change requests, risks, and reviews.

PMD is a source code analyzer. It finds common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and so forth.

There is an Apache Maven PMD Plugin which allows you to automatically run the PMD code analysis tool on your project ' s source code and generate a site report with its results.

Instead reduce the code complexity.

Note: Technical debt is the accumulation of sub-optimal technical decisions made over the lifetime of an application. Eventually, it gets harder and harder to change things: it’s the ‘sand in the gears’ that sees IT initiatives grind to a halt.

Task 11: Create an Artifact Feed with Specific Retention Policies

Step 1: Navigate to Artifacts

In your Azure DevOps Project (Project1), click on the Artifacts section in the left menu.

Step 2: Create a New Feed

Click on the + New feed button.

In the Name field, enter:

nginx

Copy

artifact_feed

Choose the visibility of the feed:

Project scoped (only accessible to Project1).

Or Organization scoped (accessible across your Azure DevOps organization).

Leave other settings at default unless you have specific permissions or upstream sources.

Click Create .

This creates a new feed named artifact_feed.

Step 3: Configure Retention Policies

In the Artifacts section, click on the feed named artifact_feed to open its details page.

In the top-right corner, click on the three dots (...) and select Feed settings .

Step 4: Set the Maximum Number of Versions to Retain

In the Feed settings page, find the Retention policies section.

Set Maximum number of versions per package to:

Copy

10

Click Save .

This ensures that only the latest 10 versions of any package are retained in the feed.

Step 5: Set the Downloaded Package Retention Period

In the Feed settings page, under Retention policies , find Downloaded package retention .

Set Number of days to retain downloaded packages to:

Copy

90

Click Save .

This ensures that downloaded packages will be retained in the cache for 90 days before deletion.

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

1. Open Microsoft Azure Portal

2. Log into your Azure account, select App Services in the Azure portal left navigation, and then select configure az400-9940427-func1.

3. On the app page, select Deployment Center in the left menu.

4. On the Build provider page, select Azure Pipelines (Preview), and then select Continue.

5. On the Configure page, in the Code section:

For GitHub, drop down and select the Organization, Repository, and Branch you want to deploy continuously.

6. Select Continue.

7. On the Test page, choose whether to enable load tests, and then select Continue.

8. Depending on your App Service plan pricing tier, you may see a Deploy to staging page. Choose whether to enable deployment slots, and then select Continue.

9. After you configure the build provider, review the settings on the Summary page, and then select Finish.

The Register-AzureRmAutomationDscNode cmdlet registers an Azure virtual machine as an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) node in an Azure Automation account.

Scenario: The Azure DevOps organization includes:

The Docker extension

A deployment pool named Pool7 that contains 10 Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016
