Exam AZ-204 topic 2 question 27 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-204
Question #: 27
Topic #: 2
[All AZ-204 Questions]

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.

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

I think you're correct: in fact - run.cmd is used only to start a project as a dll file https://www.sohaibtariq.com/console-webjob/%C3%ACndex/ - WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE doesn't consent the execution of any script. You can only run your web project from a package (.zip file tipically) https://docs.microsoft.com/bs-latn-ba/azure/azure-functions/run-functions-from-deployment-package https://github.com/Azure/app-service-announcements/issues/84 - Instead in .csproj file PreBuild Event Target you can specify any command to execute before the compilation and the application execution. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-targets?view=vs-2019 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44818730/is-there-a-net-core-cli-pre-before-build-task https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28916414/visual-studio-add-pre-build-event-that-always-runs-c-project

If the solution is built on the local machine, you can add target before build and do operations like copy files, run .bat(which can generate script content). However, if the repository is hosted on GitHub, any target will not work, because GitHub does not build apps

More direct info https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-best-practices#net "By default, Kudu executes the build steps for your .NET application (dotnet build)" - so pre-build step should work there. There is similar note for node.js

Me: Do I need to know .Net shit to pass AZ-204? Microsoft: No, it is only concept you need to know. It does not check your knowledge of .Net (or whatever it is) Questions: .csproj file PreBuild Event Target Me: Microsoft oh Microsoft.

I agree C and D. The explanation of the Answers point to a Azure Function App, either the question was entered wrong (as they meant Azure Function App) into ExamTopics or the answers they chose were wrong.

Why is this upvoted? When you check the link you can read yourself that this will not run any scripts for you.

But the repository could have a script and that will be run automatically by kudu ... Sorry, I do not know it myself whether kudu will be applied when it is from github. There are a lot of permutation combination and ways in which something can be done. To expect someone to remember all the unfortunate choices Microsoft made in these choices is ridiculous. But then it is my mistake I chose to do this certification from Microsoft

'C' makes no sense. Nothing exists on the Azure website in regard to a "run.cmd".

C, D is correct. To customize your deployment, include a .deployment file in the repository root. For more information, see Customize deployments and Custom deployment script. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/deploy-continuous-deployment?tabs=github https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Custom-Deployment-Script

Copilot AI says B and D: Option B is correct because you can use the PreBuild target in the csproj file to execute a custom command or script before the project is built. This way, you can run the static content generation script and include the generated files in the project output. Option D is correct because you can use the .deployment file in the root of the repository to customize the deployment process and specify a custom deployment script. This way, you can run the static content generation script and deploy the website using the custom script.

A could NOT be the solution, since WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE is strictly used for running an app from a zip package. It doesn't involve any pre-build script support. It has to be B & D IMO.

The correct answers are C and D. C. Creating a file named run.cmd in the folder /run that calls a script which generates the static content and deploys the website is a valid approach. You can use this file to run any pre-processing or setup steps before the website starts serving traffic. D. Creating a file named .deployment in the root of the repository that calls a script which generates the static content and deploys the website is also a valid approach. The .deployment file can be used to specify custom deployment steps, including running scripts before the deployment process. Both options allow you to execute custom scripts or commands before the website starts serving traffic, making them suitable for running the static content generation script.

Selected Answer: CD
It has to be C, or DIf you want to customize the deployment process, for example you want to run your tests before deploying (or after) and cancel the deployment if they fail? Any of these commands will generate the files required to deploy your site, mainly: .deployment - Contains the command to run for deploying your site. deploy.cmd - Contains the deployment script (or deploy.sh if running on Mac/Linux)

Selected Answer: BD
Without research I thought A and D, but static files (from what I can tell) are housed in wwwroot, but https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/run-functions-from-deployment-package states that "When you run from a package, the wwwroot folder becomes read-only and you'll receive an error when writing files to this directory. Files are also read-only in the Azure portal." so unless it has been reconfigured not to use wwwroot for content, this can't be right. I'd then lean towards B and D like the majority, but then this is assuming msbuild for the website, but what if it's another technology like Ruby? It wouldn't have a .csproj. Unfortunately we're not given a big enough world view, so we'll have to make assumptions, if we're making assumptions I think it must be B & D, B would certainly work if was an MSBuild project.
