Introduction to DevOps and Azure DevOps

What best describes DevOps?

• A set of programming languages used for backend development and database management.

• A methodology that promotes extensive documentation and rigid project timelines for software development.

• A combination of people, practices, and tools designed to increase an organization’s ability to deliver applications/services faster and more reliably than the traditional software development process.

• A framework focused solely on manual testing and quality assurance to ensure software is bug-free before deployment.

What best describes CI/CD?

• A project management strategy that emphasizes long planning phases before development begins.

• A software development practice that involves automatically building, testing, and deploying applications to enhance the delivery pipeline.

• A static testing method that only addresses performance issues after software deployment.

• A traditional approach that requires teams to work in isolation until the final stage of development.

What is Azure DevOps primarily used for?

• A cloud storage solution for securely backing up personal files and documents.

• A suite of development tools and services that facilitate collaboration, continuous integration, and delivery in software projects.

• A programming language specifically designed for cloud infrastructure management.

• A standalone desktop application for managing financial transactions and accounting.

What is the purpose of a version control system in DevOps?

• To automate the deployment of applications to production.

• To create user interfaces for software applications.

• To manage hardware resources in a data center.

• To track changes in code and collaborate effectively among team members.

What is the primary goal of Continuous Integration?

• To limit the number of deployments to production to once a month.

• To create a detailed documentation of the software development process.

• To automate the process of merging code changes into a shared repository frequently.

• To ensure that all team members work on the same codebase without conflicts.

Which of the following best describes Continuous Delivery in software development?

• A practice where every code change is automatically released to production without manual approval.

• A process that ensures code can be reliably deployed to production at any time, but may require manual intervention to trigger the actual deployment.

• A methodology that focuses on writing extensive documentation before any code changes are made.

• A strategy that only deploys code changes during scheduled releases and requires significant manual testing before going live.
