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. Drag and Drop Question You need to implement the code flow strategy for Project2 in Azure DevOps. Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

Correct arrangement

  • Create a repository
  • Create a fork
  • Add a build policy for the fork

Explanation

The correct sequence is: Create a repository (to house Project2's code), Create a fork (to give Team2 an independent copy they can work on and submit pull requests from, satisfying both the pull request and independent work requirements), and Add a build policy for the fork (to ensure that any changes in the fork are validated by a build before being merged, satisfying the 'ensure that any inter-' requirement which likely refers to ensuring integration/build validation). Forking is the correct Azure DevOps strategy when an external or semi-independent team needs to work on their own copy of a repository and submit pull requests back to the main repo.
