You have a project in Azure DevOps that uses packages from multiple public feeds. Some of the feeds are unreliable.
You need to consolidate the packages into a single feed.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Step 1: Create a NuGet package.
NuGet and Maven are public package managers that support multiple feeds.
Step 2: Create an Azure Artifacts feed that uses upstream sources
If you want to use packages from multiple feeds, use upstream sources to bring packages from multiple feeds together into a single feed.
Step 3: Create a Micrtosoft Visual Studio project that includes all the packages Consume NuGet packages from upstream sources: Now you can open Visual Studio and install packages from the upstream sources you just configured.

You use Azure Pipelines lo manage the build and deployment of apps.
You are planning the release strategies for a new app. You need to choose strategies for the following scenarios:
* Releases will be made available to users who are grouped by their tolerance for software faults.
* Code will be deployed to enable functionality that will be available in later releases of the app.
* When a new release occurs, the existing deployment will remain active to minimize recovery time if a return to the previous version is required.

Correct Answer:

Explanation

Box 1: Progressive exposure
Continuous Delivery may sequence multiple deployment "rings" for progressive exposure (also known as
"controlling the blast radius"). Progressive exposure groups users who get to try new releases to monitor their experience in "rings." The first deployment ring is often a "canary" used to test new versions in production before a broader rollout. CD automates deployment from one ring to the next and may optionally depend on an approval step, in which a decision maker signs off on the changes electronically. CD may create an auditable record of the approval in order to satisfy regulatory procedures or other control objectives.

Box 2: Feature flags
Feature flags support a customer-first DevOps mindset, to enable (expose) and disable (hide) features in a solution, even before they are complete and ready for release.
Box 3: Blue/green
Blue/green deployments which means that instead of replacing the previous version (here we refer to this version as blue), we bring up the new version (here referred to as the green version) next to the existing version, but not expose it to the actual users right away. On the condition of having successfully validated that the green version works correctly, we will promote this version to the public version by changing the routing configuration without downtime. If something is wrong with the green version we can revert back without users every noticing interruptions.

Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one port.

• A.an External Git service connection
• B.a Microsoft hosted agent
• C.service hooks
• D.a self- hosted agent

You need to find and isolate shared code. The shared code will be maintained in a series of packages.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Create a dependency graph for the application
By linking work items and other objects, you can track related work, dependencies, and changes made over time. All links are defined with a specific link type. For example, you can use Parent/Child links to link work items to support a hierarchical tree structure. Whereas, the Commit and Branch link types support links between work items and commits and branches, respectively.
Step 2: Group the related components.
Packages enable you to share code across your organization: you can compose a large product, develop multiple products based on a common shared framework, or create and share reusable components and libraries.
Step 3: Assign ownership to each component graph
