AZ-400 Question #443: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You have a project in Azure DevOps named Project1. You need to ensure that all new pipelines in Project1 execute three specific tasks during pipeline execution. What should you create?

Options

• Aa task group
• Ba JSON template
• Ca YAML template
• Da PowerShell task

Explanation

To ensure all new pipelines in an Azure DevOps project execute a consistent set of three specific tasks, you should create a task group.

Common mistakes.

• B. A JSON template is not the standard Azure DevOps construct for grouping and reusing a set of pipeline tasks; YAML templates are more relevant for pipeline structure, but task groups specifically bundle tasks.
• C. While a YAML template can be used for reusability, a task group is specifically designed to abstract and reuse a sequence of pipeline tasks as a single, callable unit, which is a more direct solution for grouping tasks.
• D. A PowerShell task executes a single script and does not inherently group multiple, potentially different, types of Azure DevOps tasks into a reusable component.
