Question

Drag and Drop Question A company plans to use Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps. Code builds for new development must follow Microsoft's recommendations by using supported tools. Virtual machine (VM) environments are required for the following usage: - Develop code. - Centrally merge all code in a structured way. You need to implement a code management solution. Which tools should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate tools to the correct requirements. Each tool may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

Approach. Microsoft recommends Tier-1 VMs (cloud-hosted environments) for individual code development - these are single-box environments containing all D365 F&O components, giving developers an isolated workspace to write, compile, and locally test X++ code. For central merging, a dedicated Build VM integrated with Azure DevOps is the recommended approach: developers push branches to Azure DevOps source control, and the Build VM runs automated pipelines that compile code, resolve merge conflicts, and produce deployable packages. This separation of concerns mirrors standard CI/CD practices - developer VMs for authoring, a centralized build agent for integration - and is explicitly documented in Microsoft's Dynamics 365 F&O ALM guidance.

Concept tested. Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations ALM architecture: the role of Tier-1 cloud-hosted (developer) VMs versus the dedicated Build VM in Azure DevOps for centralized code integration and continuous integration pipelines.
