Read the first 7 Monitoring, Feedback & Security flashcards as text

  1. Your team wants to detect anomalies in Azure Monitor metrics automatically without writing manual threshold rules. Which feature should you enable?

    Answer: Dynamic threshold alerts

    Dynamic threshold alerts use machine learning to automatically adapt thresholds based on historical data patterns.

  2. A security scan in your pipeline flagged a hardcoded connection string in a pull request. Which Azure DevOps feature can prevent secrets from being merged automatically?

    Answer: Credential scanning build task in the PR validation pipeline

    A credential scanning build task configured as a PR validation gate will fail the build and block merge when secrets are detected.

  3. You need to correlate logs from multiple Azure resources in a single query. Which tool provides a unified query language (KQL) across all those sources?

    Answer: Azure Monitor Logs (Log Analytics)

    Azure Monitor Logs with Log Analytics workspaces lets you write KQL queries across logs from multiple resources in one place.

  4. Which Application Insights feature allows you to define a percentage of user sessions to be recorded end-to-end for performance diagnosis?

    Answer: Profiler sampling

    Application Insights Profiler uses sampling to capture traces for a configurable percentage of requests to diagnose performance bottlenecks.

  5. Your organization must ensure container images in Azure Container Registry are free of critical CVEs before deployment. Which DevSecOps practice achieves this in the pipeline?

    Answer: Run Microsoft Defender for Containers vulnerability assessment as a pipeline gate

    Microsoft Defender for Containers provides vulnerability assessment that can be integrated as a pipeline gate to block images with critical CVEs.

  6. A team needs work item feedback from stakeholders who cannot access Azure DevOps. Which feature lets external users submit feedback through a link?

    Answer: Test & Feedback extension with a stakeholder access link

    The Test & Feedback browser extension allows stakeholders to capture and submit feedback via a shared link without needing a full Azure DevOps license.

  7. You want to track the mean time to restore (MTTR) for production incidents. Which Azure DevOps capability directly surfaces this DORA metric?

    Answer: Azure DevOps Analytics DORA metrics report

    The DORA metrics report in Azure DevOps Analytics provides out-of-the-box tracking of deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR.
