You need to implement the code flow strategy for Project2 in Azure DevOps.
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.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Create a repository
A Git repository, or repo, is a folder that you've told Git to help you track file changes in. You can have any number of repos
on your computer, each stored in their own folder.
Step 2: Create a fork
Step 3: Add a build policy for the fork
Build policies help teams protect their important branches of development. Policies enforce your team's code quality and
change management standards.
Scenario:
Implement a code flow strategy for Project2 that will:
Enable Team2 to submit pull requests for Project2.
Enable Team2 to work independently on changes to a copy of Project2.
Ensure that any intermediary changes performed by Team2 on a copy of Project2 will be subject to the same restrictions
as the ones defined in the build policy of Project2.

You need to configure Azure Automation for the computers in Pool7.
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.
Select and Place:
Answer:
Explanation:
Step 1: Create a Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration file that has an extension of .ps1.
Step 2: Run the Import-AzureRmAutomationDscConfiguration Azure Powershell cmdlet
The Import-AzureRmAutomationDscConfiguration cmdlet imports an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration
into Azure Automation.
Specify the path of an APS script that contains a single DSC configuration.
Example:
PS C:\>Import-AzureRmAutomationDscConfiguration -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17"-ResourceGroupName
"ResourceGroup01" -SourcePath
"C:\DSC\client.ps1" -Force
This command imports the DSC configuration in the file named client.ps1 into the Automation account named Contoso17.
The command specifies the Force parameter. If there is an existing DSC configuration, this command replaces it.
Step 3: Run the Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob Azure Powershell cmdlet
The Start-AzureRmAutomationDscCompilationJob cmdlet compiles an APS Desired State Configuration (DSC) configuration
in Azure Automation.
