Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer:

Box 1: Hosted macOS -
Hosted macOS pool (Azure Pipelines only): Enables you to build and release on macOS without having to configure a self-hosted macOS agent. This option affects where your data is stored.

Box 2: Hosted -
Hosted pool (Azure Pipelines only): The Hosted pool is the built-in pool that is a collection of Microsoft-hosted agents.
Incorrect Answers:
Default pool: Use it to register self-hosted agents that you've set up.
Hosted Windows Container pool (Azure Pipelines only): Enabled you to build and release inside Windows containers. Unless you're building using containers,
Windows builds should run in the Hosted VS2017 or Hosted pools.
Hosted Linux/Ubuntu 18.04 does not apply for Mac OS or for Microsoft IIS.

Important Note: While the Hosted agent pool could work for the IIS application since it provides a general Windows environment, the Hosted Windows Container pool is specifically designed and optimized for building and running Windows containers. Therefore, it's the more appropriate and efficient choice in this scenario.

The following agent pools are provided by default: - Default pool: use it to register self-hosted agents. - Azure Pipelines: hosted pool with various Windows, Linux and macOS images. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/pools-queues?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml%2Cbrowser - Azure Pipelines agent pool offers several virtual machine images to choose from, including macOS images. - Microsoft-hosted agents can run jobs directly on the VM or in a container. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#use-a-microsoft-hosted-agent - Azure Pipelines can also run Windows Containers. Windows Server version 1803 or higher is required. Docker must be installed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/container-phases?view=azure-devops Azure Pipelines is not available in answers selection. The next best answer is hosted for both requirements.

1. An application that runs on iOS: For building an application that runs on iOS, you should use the **Hosted macOS** build agent pool (Option C). This pool provides a macOS environment with the necessary tools for building iOS applications. 2. An internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs in Docker: For building an IIS web application that runs in Docker, you should use the **Hosted Windows Container** build agent pool (Option A). This pool provides a Windows environment with support for running Docker containers. Answers: 1. An application that runs on iOS: c. Hosted macOS 2. An internet Information Services (IIS) web application that runs in Docker: a. Hosted Windows Container

GPT: You could use the "Hosted" build agent pool for building an IIS web application that runs in Docker, as this pool provides a Windows-based environment with Docker already installed. However, the "Hosted Windows Container" pool is specifically optimized for building and running Windows containers, so it may provide a more suitable environment for this use case. So, both "Hosted Windows Container" and "Hosted" could be valid options for the second application type, but "Hosted Windows Container" is more specific to building and running Windows containers, which is the scenario in this case.

""You can install the agent on Linux, macOS, or Windows machines" - Correct, but that is not the requirement. The requirement is an IIS application and for that a Hosted Win Container is best.

The correct answer is hosted for both as they are asking us about the agent pool type which can be only azure pipelines (hosted) and private (self-hosted). Once you will select hosted you will be prompted to provide Agent specifications like: mac, windows ...
