Exam AZ-400 topic 1 question 11 discussion

Should be the answer

The question asks if you "should use a Default build agent pool", with the word "Default" highlighted. The word "Default" can be replaced with "Hosted", which gives us the answer C. If the question asks for if you "should use a Default Build Agent Pool", the answer should be B (Hosted Windows Container)

IIS web applications running in Docker containers require a Windows-based environment, specifically a build agent pool that supports Windows containers. Therefore, "Hosted Windows Container Most Voted" would be the most suitable agent pool for building IIS applications within Docker.

The underlined segment is **inaccurate**. To compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs Docker, you should use a build agent pool that supports Windows containers. The correct option is: **B. Hosted Windows Container** This option provides the necessary environment for building and running Windows-based containers, which is essential for your IIS web application that runs Docker. So the correct choice is **B. Hosted Windows Container**.

Option C. Hosted is not suitable for IIS applications running in Docker because the Hosted agent pool doesn’t support Windows containers. It runs on Linux-based agents, which don’t have the necessary Windows OS dependencies required for IIS.

Explanation: To compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs in Docker, you would need to use a build agent that supports Windows containers. The "Hosted Windows Container" agent pool is specifically designed for building and running Windows containers, which is essential for IIS applications, as IIS only runs on Windows. "No adjustment required" (A) is incorrect because the "Default build agent pool" might not necessarily support Windows containers. "Hosted" (C) is a general agent pool but doesn't guarantee Windows container support. "Hosted macOS" (D) is irrelevant, as macOS doesn't support IIS or Windows containers. Thus, the accurate option is B. Hosted Windows Container.

The correct answer is B. Hosted Windows Container. When you need to compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs on Docker, you should use a Hosted Windows Container build agent pool. This is because IIS is a web server created by Microsoft specifically for Windows-based systems. Since you want to run the application in a Docker container, a Hosted Windows Container build agent pool will provide the necessary Windows environment along with Docker support. A build agent pool is a collection of agents used for running build and deployment tasks in a continuous integration and delivery pipeline. The Hosted Windows Container build agent pool is a pre-configured, managed pool provided by Azure DevOps or other CI/CD platforms, which supports running Docker containers on a Windows-based system. By using this pool, you can ensure that your IIS web application is built and run in the appropriate environment.

B. Hosted Windows Container The underlined segment is inaccurate. To compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs Docker, you should use the Hosted Windows Container build agent pool, as it provides a build environment with Docker and Windows containers support, which is necessary for building and running IIS web applications using Docker.

B is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/service-containers?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#requirements Azure Pipelines can run Linux or Windows Containers. Use either hosted Ubuntu for Linux containers, or the Hosted Windows Container pool for Windows containers. (The Hosted macOS pool doesn't support running containers.)

The accurate option is B. Hosted Windows Container. To compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs Docker, it is recommended to use the "Hosted Windows Container" agent pool in Azure DevOps. This agent pool provides the necessary environment for building and running Windows-based Docker containers. The "Default build" agent pool is a generic pool that may not have the specific dependencies and configurations required for building and running Docker containers. Therefore, it is not the appropriate choice for compiling an IIS web application that runs Docker.

The underlined segment is inaccurate. To compile an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs on Docker, the appropriate build agent pool to use would be a Hosted Windows Container pool. This pool provides a Windows environment with Docker support to ensure that the application is built and run in the appropriate environment. So the correct option is: B. Hosted Windows Container (Answered by Copilot)

IIS (Internet Information Services) is a web server software designed by Microsoft and is primarily built for the Windows operating system. It is not natively supported on macOS. Therefore, if you need to compile an IIS web application, you would typically require a Windows-based environment.

B. https://medium.com/@walissonscd/build-agent-pools-for-dockerized-iis-web-applications-choosing-the-right-option-21b86c097436

B. Hosted Windows Container: This type of agent pool specifically provides Windows agents with Docker pre-installed and configured, making them suitable for building Dockerized applications, including IIS web apps.

I think I'll go with Hosted Windows Container because of the following: Reasoning: The Azure DevOps Hosted build agent pool contains a variety of agents with different operating systems, including Windows. Some of the Windows agents in the pool support Docker. IIS is a Windows web server. Therefore, it is logical to deduce that the "Hosted build agent pool" contains agents that can run IIS web applications with Docker. However, it is important to note that not all Windows agents in the pool support Docker. To ensure compatibility, it is recommended: Select a Windows agent that is labeled "Docker" in the agent list.

C is the answer - the specifics of the application isn't mentioned, therefore using the 'hosted' is the default

I think C, hosted pool is correct
