Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

You maintain several Azure Pipelines that run nightly integration tests against six different database versions. The tests are defined in a single YAML job that uses a matrix strategy, so six parallel Microsoft-hosted agents start each time the pipeline runs. Management wants to keep the test coverage unchanged but limit the number of simultaneously billed Microsoft-hosted jobs to two in order to lower costs. Which YAML change should you implement to meet the requirement?

  • Insert "dependsOn" references so each matrix job waits for the previous job to finish.

  • Change the pool definition from Microsoft-hosted to self-hosted agents.

  • Configure a condition that runs the job only when the variable Agent.JobServerParallelism equals 2.

  • Add the setting "maxParallel: 2" under the job's matrix strategy.
