You are preparing to deploy a website to an Azure Web App from a GitHub repository. The website includes static content generated by a script.
You plan to use the Azure Web App continuous deployment feature.
You need to run the static generation script before the website starts serving traffic.
What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Add the path to the static content generation tool to WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE setting in the host.json file.
  2. Add a PreBuild target in the websites csproj project file that runs the static content generation script.
  3. Create a file named run.cmd in the folder /run that calls a script which generates the static content and deploys the website.
  4. Create a file named .deployment in the root of the repository that calls a script which generates the static content and deploys the website.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

A: In Azure, you can run your functions directly from a deployment package file in your function app. The other option is to deploy your files in the d:\home\site
\wwwroot directory of your function app (see A above).
To enable your function app to run from a package, you just add a WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE setting to your function app settings.
Note: The host.json metadata file contains global configuration options that affect all functions for a function app.
D: To customize your deployment, include a .deployment file in the repository root.
You just need to add a file to the root of your repository with the name .deployment and the content:
[config]
command = YOUR COMMAND TO RUN FOR DEPLOYMENT
this command can be just running a script (batch file) that has all that is required for your deployment, like copying files from the repository to the web root directory for example.

DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You are developing an application to use Azure Blob storage. You have configured Azure Blob storage to include change feeds.
A copy of your storage account must be created in another region. Data must be copied from the current storage account to the new storage account directly between the storage servers.
You need to create a copy of the storage account in another region and copy the data.
In which order should you perform the actions? To answer, move all actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



To move a storage account, create a copy of your storage account in another region. Then, move your data to that account by using AzCopy, or another tool of your choice.
The steps are:
- Export a template.
- Modify the template by adding the target region and storage account name.
- Deploy the template to create the new storage account.
- Configure the new storage account.
- Move data to the new storage account.
- Delete the resources in the source region.
Note: You must enable the change feed on your storage account to begin capturing and recording changes. You can enable and disable changes by using Azure
Resource Manager templates on Portal or Powershell.

You are preparing to deploy an Azure virtual machine (VM)-based application.
The VMs that run the application have the following requirements:
-When a VM is provisioned the firewall must be automatically configured before it can access Azure resources.
-Supporting services must be installed by using an Azure PowerShell script that is stored in Azure Storage.
You need to ensure that the requirements are met.
Which features should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate features to the correct requirements. Each feature 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.

You are developing an application that needs access to an Azure virtual machine (VM).
The access lifecycle for the application must be associated with the VM service instance.
You need to enable managed identity for the VM.
How should you complete the PowerShell segment? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

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 develop a software as a service (SaaS) offering to manage photographs. Users upload photos to a web service which then stores the photos in Azure
Storage Blob storage. The storage account type is General-purpose V2.
When photos are uploaded, they must be processed to produce and save a mobile-friendly version of the image. The process to produce a mobile-friendly version of the image must start in less than one minute.
You need to design the process that starts the photo processing.
Solution: Create an Azure Function app that uses the Consumption hosting model and that is triggered from the blob upload.
Does the solution meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the Consumption hosting plan, resources are added dynamically as required by your functions.

You develop and deploy an Azure App Service API app to a Windows-hosted deployment slot named Development. You create additional deployment slots named Testing and Production. You enable auto swap on the Production deployment slot.
You need to ensure that scripts run and resources are available before a swap operation occurs.
Solution: Update the app with a method named statuscheck to run the scripts. Update the app settings for the app. Set the
WEBSITE_SWAP_WARMUP_PING_PATH and WEBSITE_SWAP_WARMUP_PING_STATUSES with a path to the new method and appropriate response codes.
Does the solution meet the goal?

  1. No
  2. Yes

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

These are valid warm-up behavior options, but are not helpful in fixing swap problems.
Instead update the web.config file to include the applicationInitialization configuration element. Specify custom initialization actions to run the scripts.
Note: Some apps might require custom warm-up actions before the swap. The applicationInitialization configuration element in web.config lets you specify custom initialization actions. The swap operation waits for this custom warm-up to finish before swapping with the target slot. Here's a sample web.config fragment.
<system.webServer>
<applicationInitialization>
<add initializationPage="/" hostName="[app hostname]" />
<add initializationPage="/Home/About" hostName="[app hostname]" />
</applicationInitialization>
</system.webServer>

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:


Box 1: No
The AzScheduledQueryRuleSource is Heartbeat, not CPU.
Box 2: Yes
The AzScheduledQueryRuleSource is Heartbeat!
Note: New-AzScheduledQueryRuleTriggerCondition creates an object of type Trigger Condition. This object is to be passed to the command that creates Alerting
Action object.
Box 3: No
The schedule is 60 minutes, not two hours.
-FrequencyInMinutes: The alert frequency.
-TimeWindowInMinutes: The alert time window
The New-AzAscheduledQueryRuleSchedule command creates an object of type Schedule. This object is to be passed to the command that creates Log Alert
Rule.
