You need to recommend an integration strategy for the build process of a Java application. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* The builds must access an on-premises dependency management system.
* The build outputs must be stored as Server artifacts in Azure DevOps.
* The source code must be stored in a Git repository in Azure DevOps.
Solution: Configure the build pipeline to use a Hosted VS 2017 agent pool. Include the Java Tool Installer task in the build pipeline.
Does this meet the goal?

You plan to create a GitHub workflow that will use GitHub Actions. The actions will require a 256-KB secret.
You need to recommend a solution to store and encrypt the secret. The secret value must be accessible only to the workflow. The solution must minimize administrative effort What should you recommend?

You have an Azure DevOps project named Project1 and an Azure subscription named Sub1. Sub1 contains an Azure SQL database named DB1.
You need to create a release pipeline that uses the Azure SQL Database Deployment task to update DB1.
Which artifact should you deploy?

Your company is concerned that when developers introduce open source libraries, it creates licensing compliance issues.
You need to add an automated process to the build pipeline to detect when common open source libraries are added to the code base.
What should you use?

You use Azure DevOps processes to build and deploy code.
You need to compare how much time is spent troubleshooting issues found during development and how much time is spent troubleshooting issues found in released code.
Which KPI should you use?
