Question

Drag and Drop Question You have a project in Azure DevOps named Project1 that contains two Azure DevOps pipelines named Pipeline1 and Pipeline2. You need to ensure that Pipeline1 can deploy code successfully to an Azure web app named webapp1. The solution must ensure that Pipeline2 does not have permission to webapp1.

Answer Area

Drag items

Create a service principal in Azure Active Directory.In Project1, create a service connection.In Pipeline1, authorize the service connection.Create a system-assigned managed identity in Azure Active Directory.In Project1, configure permissions.In Pipeline1, create a variable.

Correct arrangement

  • Create a service principal in Azure Active Directory.
  • In Project1, create a service connection.
  • In Pipeline1, authorize the service connection.

Explanation

To enable Pipeline1 to deploy to webapp1 while restricting Pipeline2, you must first create a service principal in Azure Active Directory to represent the identity with permissions to the web app. Next, you create a service connection in Project1 that uses that service principal to authenticate to Azure. Finally, you authorize the service connection specifically for Pipeline1 (not project-wide), ensuring only Pipeline1 can use it and Pipeline2 is excluded by default.
