   A team needs to provision a complete application stack, including a load balancer, web servers, and a database, using a single deployment. They want to ensure that the database is created before the web servers attempt to connect to it. How should they structure the template?

   • ADefine the database resource before the web server resources in the template file.
   • BUse the dependsOn element to declare that the web servers depend on the database.
   • CUse a single resource that includes both the database and web servers.
   • DDeploy the database and web servers in separate template deployments.

   A team is designing a deployment template for a multi-tier application. They want to ensure that the template can be used to deploy to different environments (dev, test, prod) with different configurations, but they also want to enforce that certain production-specific settings (e.g., TLS version) cannot be overridden. What is the best way to achieve this?

   • AUse parameters for all settings and enforce the production settings in the parameter file.
   • BUse conditional logic in the template to set production settings based on the environment parameter.
   • CUse variables for production-specific settings and parameters for environment-specific settings.
   • DUse a separate template for production with hardcoded settings.

   A company has a production environment deployed via an ARM template. They need to scale out the number of web server instances based on CPU utilization. They want to automate this scaling without manual intervention. What should they do?

   • AUse Azure Automation to run a script that increases the instance count in the template.
   • BModify the template to increase the instance count and redeploy it when CPU utilization is high.
   • CAdd a VM scale set to the template and configure autoscaling rules based on CPU utilization.
   • DManually add VMs to the availability set when CPU utilization is high.

   What is the primary purpose of a cloud deployment template in the context of on-demand provisioning?

   • ATo provide a static, human-readable document that records the final state of a deployed application for auditing purposes.
   • BTo provide a step-by-step script that must be manually executed by an administrator each time a service is needed.
   • CTo define the desired state of cloud resources in a declarative format that can be used to provision and configure application services consistently.
   • DTo serve as a billing estimate that predicts the monthly cost of running an application before any resources are created.

   A company uses a CI/CD pipeline to deploy a multi-tier application to Azure. The operations team wants to provision a new environment for each feature branch, including a virtual network, a pair of application servers, and an Azure SQL database. The pipeline must pass the branch name and a unique environment ID into the deployment so that resources are named consistently and do not collide. Which approach should the team use?

   • ACreate a single ARM template with parameters for the branch name and environment ID, and invoke it from the pipeline with those parameter values.
   • BUse the Azure portal to manually create the resources for each feature branch environment.
   • CWrite a PowerShell script that hardcodes the resource names and run it manually after each branch merge.
   • DCreate a separate ARM template for each feature branch and store them in the repository under branch-specific folders.
