Question

From Azure Security Center, you enable Azure Container Registry vulnerability scanning of the images in Registry1. You perform the following actions: - Push a Windows image named Image1 to Registry1. - Push a Linux image named Image2 to Registry1. - Push a Windows image named Image3 to Registry1. - Modify Image1 and push the new image as Image4 to Registry1. - Modify Image2 and push the new image as Image5 to Registry1. Which two images will be scanned for vulnerabilities? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Explanation

Explanation

Azure Container Registry vulnerability scanning only supports Linux-based images - Windows container images are not scanned. This immediately eliminates Image1 (Windows), Image3 (Windows), and Image4 (modified Windows image), making options A, C, and D incorrect.

Among the Linux images, Image2 (original Linux image) and Image5 (modified Linux image derived from Image2) are both eligible for scanning, as every push of a Linux image to the registry triggers a vulnerability scan - both the base image and any modified versions are scanned independently upon being pushed.

Why distractors are wrong:

  • A (Image4): Derived from Image1, which is Windows - not scanned
  • C (Image1): Windows image - not scanned
  • D (Image3): Windows image - not scanned

Memory Tip: Think "Linux = Scanned, Windows = Skipped" - Azure's vulnerability scanning integrates with Qualys, which only supports Linux container images. If you remember that Windows containers are excluded, you can quickly filter out any Windows-based images in the question, leaving only Linux images (Image2 and Image5) as the correct answers.
