The R&D team at your toy company has asked you to help them with their pipeline definition. Here's the YAML file:

trigger:
  branches:
    include:
    - main
    - releases/*
  paths:
    include:
    - templates
    exclude:
    - templates/README.md

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - task: AzureResourceManagerTemplateDeployment@3
    inputs:
      connectedServiceName: ResearchSubscription
      location: westus3
      resourceGroupName: ResearchDevelopment
      csmFile: deploy/main.bicep
      overrideParameters: >
        -environmentType Production

1.

You want to modify the pipeline YAML file so that it follows best practices. What should you do?

Update the pipeline's pool to use a Windows agent pool.

Add variables for the service connection name, resource group name, and the environment type parameter.

Add a job declaration before steps.

2.

Which of these situations will trigger the R&D team's pipeline to run?

Someone commits an update to the README.md file in the templates directory in the main branch.

Someone commits an update to any file anywhere in the repository, and pushes the update to a branch with a name starting with releases/.

Someone commits an update to the template.bicep file in the templates directory and pushes the update to a branch with a name that starts with releases/.

3.

Which of the following statements is true?

Before you run your pipeline with a Microsoft-hosted agent, you need to make sure the agent has started. When the pipeline run is finished, you need to shut down the agent so that it doesn't use up any resources unnecessarily.

Microsoft-hosted agents contain all the software that's needed to deploy Bicep files.

When your pipeline is finished running, you can sign in to the Microsoft-hosted agent machine to check the logs of the pipeline run.

4.

You have a Bicep file that deploys a new App Service plan and an app to a resource group in Azure. Which of the following tasks can you use to deploy the Bicep file?

The Azure Web App task.

The Copy Files task.

The Azure Resource Group Deployment task.

You must answer all questions before checking your work.
