Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
You should consider three options (A, B, and C) when defining deployment rings. Using deployment rings, you can onboard a set number of devices at a time, identify potential issues, and resolve them before proceeding to the next set of devices. This approach is helpful for your scenario because you don't want to onboard all your devices simultaneously.
The first step is to evaluate a relatively small number of test devices (up to 50) to ensure they meet your exit criteria before moving to the next ring. Your exit criteria may include confirming whether the devices are visible on the devices list and whether alerts appear on the dashboard.
You can move to the pilot ring if the devices pass the evaluation ring. In this ring, you choose more devices to onboard (between 50 and 100 devices). You can proceed to the next deployment ring if the devices meet your exit criteria.
Finally, if the devices pass the pilot ring, you can move to the full deployment ring, where you onboard the rest of your devices in increments. You can access best practice material on doing this using the deployment link in the Learn More section.
Exit criteria are already part of the evaluation process, so there is no need to define them separately as a part of the deployment ring structure.
A.
The Pilot deployment ring structure is used to identify and onboard the next 50-100 endpoints in a production environment. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint supports various endpoints that you can onboard to the service.
B.
The Evaluate deployment ring structure is used to identify 50 devices to onboard to the service for testing.
C. The Full Deployment deployment ring structure is the final phase where Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is deployed to all users or devices in the organization. This phase ensures that the deployment is complete and that all users are protected by the security features provided by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
D. Exit Criteria is not an example deployment ring structure to use with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Exit Criteria refers to the conditions that must be met before a project or deployment can be considered complete or successful. It is not a specific phase or stage in the deployment process like Pilot, Evaluate, or Full Deployment.
