You are the DevOps engineer for a team that publishes a JavaScript library to an Azure Artifacts npm feed. You need to release a version that removes a deprecated function, which will break existing consumers. According to SemVer, what version number should you assign?

Increment the major version (e.g., from 1.4.2 to 2.0.0)

Increment the minor version (e.g., from 1.4.2 to 1.5.0)

Increment the patch version (e.g., from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3)

Keep the same version but add a prerelease tag

Your organization maintains two types of artifacts: a core library with a strict API contract used by many applications, and a command-line tool that is released whenever needed without a fixed schedule. You need to choose versioning schemes that communicate API compatibility for the library and provide a clear release history for the tool. What should you do?

Use CalVer for the library and SemVer for the command-line tool

Use SemVer for the library and CalVer for the command-line tool

Your CI pipeline builds a web application and publishes the deployable artifact to Azure Pipelines. The release pipeline deploys the artifact to production. You need to ensure that the deployed version can be traced back to the exact source code commit and build. What versioning strategy should you implement for the pipeline artifact?

Use the date and time of the build as the artifact version

Use a random GUID as the artifact version

Use the Git commit ID as the artifact version

Use the build ID as the artifact version and store the commit ID as a build property

According to Semantic Versioning (SemVer), when should the major version number be incremented?

When a backwards-compatible bug fix is made

When incompatible API changes are introduced

When the build metadata changes

When a new feature is added in a backwards-compatible manner

A team publishes a package to Azure Artifacts. They want to make a specific version available to all consumers while keeping other versions hidden. What should they do?

Promote the version to the 'Release' view and configure consumers to use that view.

Set the package's visibility to 'Private' in the feed settings.

Delete all other versions from the feed.

Create a new feed and publish only the desired version.
