Question

Case Study 2 - Contoso, Ltd Background Contoso, Ltd. is a manufacturing company that has a main office in Chicago. Contoso plans to improve its IT development and operations processes by implementing Azure DevOps principles. Contoso has an Azure subscription and creates an Azure DevOps organization. The Azure DevOps organization includes: The Docker extension A deployment pool named Pool7 that contains 10 Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016 The Azure subscription contains an Azure Automation account. Contoso plans to create projects in Azure DevOps as shown in the following table. Technical requirements Contoso identifies the following technical requirements: Implement build agents for Project1. Whenever possible, use Azure resources. Avoid using deprecated technologies. Implement a code flow strategy for Project2 that will: - Enable Team2 to submit pull requests for Project2. - Enable Team2 to work independently on changes to a copy of Project2. - Ensure that any intermediary changes performed by Team2 on a copy of Project2 will be subject to the same restrictions as the ones defined in the build policy of Project2. Whenever possible implement automation and minimize administrative effort. Implement Project3, Project5, Project6, and Project7 based on the planned changes Implement Project4 and configure the project to push Docker images to Azure Container Registry.

Answer Area

Drag items

Open the release pipeline editor.Disable the continuous integration trigger.Enable Gates.Add a manual intervention task.Open the Triggers tab.Add Query Work Items.

Correct arrangement

  • Open the release pipeline editor.
  • Enable Gates.
  • Add Query Work Items.

Explanation

To ensure that a release pipeline only proceeds when certain work item conditions are met (e.g., all linked work items are in a specific state), you must open the release pipeline editor, enable Gates on the appropriate stage, and then add a 'Query Work Items' gate that checks an Azure Boards query. Gates allow automated pre/post-deployment checks based on work item queries, ensuring quality conditions are satisfied before deployment proceeds.
