A team releases a desktop application every two weeks. They want version numbers to clearly indicate the release date, but they also need to support hotfixes between releases. Which CalVer scheme should they use?

YYYY.MM.Micro (e.g., 2024.03.01)

YYYY.MM.DD.Hotfix (e.g., 2024.03.15.1)

YYYY.MM (e.g., 2024.03) and append a sequence number for hotfixes (e.g., 2024.03.1)

A team releases a mobile app every two weeks. They want to use CalVer, but they also need to support multiple hotfixes within the same release cycle. They also want to ensure that the version number is sortable in a way that the latest release is always the highest version. Which CalVer scheme should they use?

YYYY.MM.DD.Hotfix (e.g., 2024.03.15.1)

YYYY.MM with a sequence number (e.g., 2024.03.1, 2024.03.2)

YYYY.MM.Micro (e.g., 2024.03.1)

Your team develops a Python package and uses Azure Pipelines for CI. You need to publish the package to a private registry that integrates with Azure DevOps authentication and supports upstream sources from PyPI. What should you use?

Azure Artifacts feed with PyPI as an upstream source

A private PyPI server hosted on a VM

Publish to the public PyPI registry

GitHub Packages with PyPI as an upstream source

A company uses both GitHub and Azure DevOps for different projects. They want a single package management solution that supports npm, NuGet, and Maven packages, and they want to avoid maintaining multiple feeds across two platforms. What should you recommend?

Use GitHub Packages for all projects and configure Azure Pipelines to authenticate with a GitHub token.

Use Azure Artifacts for all projects and configure GitHub Actions to authenticate with an Azure Artifacts token.

Use a third-party package registry like npmjs.com for all packages.

Use separate feeds: GitHub Packages for GitHub projects and Azure Artifacts for Azure DevOps projects.
