Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure Pipelines pipeline that has the following definition. For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Answer Area

Job B can run concurrently with job A.Yes
Job D can run concurrently with job B.Yes
Job C can run concurrently with job D.No

Explanation

In Azure Pipelines, jobs run in parallel by default unless dependencies are explicitly defined using 'dependsOn'. Job B has no dependency on Job A (they are independent), so they can run concurrently - Yes. Job D depends on Job C (not Job B), meaning Job D and Job B have no dependency relationship and can run concurrently - Yes. Job C and Job D cannot run concurrently because Job D explicitly 'dependsOn' Job C, meaning Job D must wait for Job C to complete before starting - No.
