A team uses Azure Pipelines with a GitHub repository. They have a pipeline that runs on PRs, but they want to skip the pipeline for PRs that only change documentation. They also want to run the pipeline on pushes to the main branch, but only if the changes are not documentation. What should they configure?

Configure the pr trigger to exclude docs and the push trigger to include all branches.

Configure both pr and push triggers with paths that exclude the docs folder.

Use a single trigger that combines PR and push events with a path filter.

A company has a hybrid environment with some workloads on Azure and some on-premises. They want a single pipeline that can deploy to both environments. The on-premises environment is behind a firewall that only allows outbound HTTPS. What should they use for the on-premises deployment?

A self-hosted agent installed on an on-premises machine that has outbound access to Azure DevOps.

An Azure VM agent that uses a site-to-site VPN to reach the on-premises environment.

A Microsoft-hosted agent that connects to the on-premises environment via a public IP.

A deployment group with a Microsoft-hosted agent that uses a listening agent.

A team wants to run a pipeline only when a pull request is created or updated, not on every push to a branch. Which trigger type should they use in Azure Pipelines?

Continuous integration (CI) trigger

A development team wants to avoid maintaining their own build servers and needs a variety of pre-installed tools for different project types. They prefer to pay only for the compute time used during pipeline runs. Which agent infrastructure is most appropriate?

Self-hosted agents on dedicated VMs

Azure Virtual Desktop session hosts
