Your company has a project in Azure DevOps for a new application. The application will be deployed to several Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016.
You need to recommend a deployment strategy for the virtual machines. The strategy must meet the following requirements:
* Ensure that the virtual machines maintain a consistent configuration.
* Minimize administrative effort to configure the virtual machines
What should you include in the recommendation?

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?

You use WhiteSource Bolt to scan a Node.js application.
The WhiteSource Bolt scan identifies numerous libraries that have invalid licenses. The libraries are used only during development and are not part of a production deployment.
You need to ensure that WhiteSource Bolt only scans production dependencies.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
