All the virtual machines must be compliant in Defender for Cloud.

Requirements:
ClaimsApp Deployment
Fabrikam plans to implement an internet-accessible application named ClaimsApp that will have the following specifications:
ClaimsApp will be deployed to Azure App Service instances that connect to Vnet1 and Vnet2.

Users will connect to ClaimsApp by using a URL of https://claims.fabrikam.com.

ClaimsApp will access data in ClaimsDB.

ClaimsDB must be accessible only from Azure virtual networks.

The app services permission for ClaimsApp must be assigned to ClaimsDB.

Requirements:
Application Development Requirements
Fabrikam identifies the following requirements for application development:
Azure DevTest labs will be used by developers for testing.

All the application code must be stored in GitHub Enterprise.

Azure Pipelines will be used to manage application deployments.

All application code changes must be scanned for security vulnerabilities, including application code or configuration files that contain secrets in clear text. Scanning must be done at the time the code is pushed to a repository.

Requirements:
