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 the Windows Server 2019 with Visual Studio 2019 image. Include the Java Tool Installer task in the build pipeline.

Does this meet the goal?

AYes

BNo

Suggested Answer: A

To build and deploy Windows, Azure, and other Visual Studio solutions you'll need at least one Windows agent. Windows agents can also build Java and Android apps.

The Azure Pipelines agent pool offers several virtual machine images to choose from, each including a broad range of tools and software. One such image is Windows Server 2019 with Visual Studio 2019.

Wait, can the Microsoft-hosted agent really handle on-prem stuff?

Tiera 1 year ago

Yeah, I agree, this setup should work perfectly!

Lynette 1 year ago

I thought we needed a self-hosted agent for that?

Stephane 1 year ago

Definitely meets the requirements!

Quiana 1 year ago

Sounds good, but does it really access the on-prem dependency?

Lovetta 1 year ago

I feel like this is similar to another question we did, but I’m uncertain if just using the hosted agent is enough for the integration strategy.

The Java Tool Installer task sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically helps with accessing on-prem dependencies.

Iesha 1 year ago

I remember a practice question where we had to ensure the build could access external resources. This setup might not meet that requirement.

I think using a Microsoft-hosted agent is a good choice, but I'm not sure if it can access on-premises systems directly.

Sherell 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about the FACL commands. I'll need to double-check the syntax to make sure I'm doing that part correctly. Hopefully I can figure it out.

I've got this! The answer is definitely A. Placing an elevation tag generates an element.

I practiced a question similar to this one last week, and I think the key is definitely how the architecture minimizes vulnerabilities. Is the answer "controller and server-free design"?

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the Cisco ISE configuration options to figure out how to prevent the automatic CoA trigger.
