Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

You administer hundreds of Windows Server 2022 virtual machines that run in several Azure subscriptions. The security team mandates that the Web-Server (IIS) feature and a specific registry value must remain continuously enforced. The solution must detect any configuration drift within 15 minutes, remediate drift automatically without manual action, surface compliance results in the Azure Policy compliance view, and avoid maintaining your own pull servers or additional agents. Which approach should you implement to meet these requirements?

  • Custom Script Extension invoked by Azure VM Run Command on a 15-minute schedule

  • Azure Automation State Configuration in pull mode using an Azure Automation account

  • Azure Automanage Machine Configuration with an Azure Policy guest configuration assignment

  • Desired State Configuration applied via an Azure DevOps pipeline only at deployment time
