GH-200 Microsoft Practice Questions

Question #1 (Topic: demo questions)

GITHUB_WORKSPACE is a default environment variable in GitHub Actions that points to the directory
on the runner where your repository is checked out. This variable allows you to access files within
your repository during the workflow.

A.

The environment variables can be read in workflows using the ENV: variable_name syntax.

B.

The environment variables created should be prefixed with GITHUB_ to ensure they can be
accessed in workflows

C.

The environment variables can be set in the defaults: sections of the workflow

D.

The GITHUB_WORKSPACE environment variable should be used to access files from within the
runner

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

GITHUB_WORKSPACE is a default environment variable in GitHub Actions that points to the directory
on the runner where your repository is checked out. This variable allows you to access files within
your repository during the workflow.

Question #2 (Topic: demo questions)

As a developer, you have a 10-MB data set that is required in a specific workflow. Which steps should
you perform so the dataset is stored encrypted and can be decrypted during the workflow? (Choose
three.)

A.

Encrypt the dataset.

B.

Leverage the actions/download-secret action in the workflow.

C.

Store the dataset in a GitHub encrypted secret.

D.

Store the encryption keys in a GitHub encrypted secret.

E.

Compress the dataset

F.

Commit the encrypted dataset to the same repository as the workflow

G.

Create a GitHub encrypted secret with the Large object option selected and upload the dataset.

Correct Answer: A, C, D

Explanation:

First, the dataset should be encrypted before being stored. This ensures that the data is protected

when stored in a repository.

The encrypted dataset can be stored in a GitHub secret, ensuring it is securely kept and not exposed
publicly.
The encryption key needed to decrypt the dataset should also be stored in a GitHub secret to
maintain security during the workflow, allowing access only when needed.

Question #3 (Topic: demo questions)

As a developer, which workflow steps should you perform to publish an image to the GitHub
Container Registry? (Choose three.)

A.

Use the actions/setup-docker action

B.

Authenticate to the GitHub Container Registry.

C.

Build the container image.

D.

Push the image to the GitHub Container Registry

E.

Pull the image from the GitHub Container Registry.

Correct Answer: A, B, D

Explanation:

Explanation:
A . Use the actions/setup-docker action
B . Authenticate to the GitHub Container Registry.
C . Build the container image.
D . Push the image to the GitHub Container Registry
E . Pull the image from the GitHub Container Registry.

Question #4 (Topic: demo questions)

How many jobs will result from the following matrix configuration?

A.

3 jobs

B.

4 jobs

C.

5 jobs

D.

6 jobs

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The matrix configuration specifies two variables: color and animal. The color variable has 2 values
(green and pink), and the animal variable has 2 values (owl and magpie). This would result in 4
combinations (2 color values × 2 animal values). Additionally, the include section introduces two
more combinations (color: blue and animal: owl; color: pink and animal: magpie).
