Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
You manage an Azure DevOps organization that relies on Azure Boards for work-item tracking, while the source code is hosted in a separate GitHub organization. Developers must be able to reference a work-item ID in the commit message or pull-request title and have the commit or pull request automatically linked to that Azure Boards work item. What is the first configuration step you must perform to enable this capability?
Create a GitHub personal access token and add it as a service connection of type GitHub in the Azure DevOps project.
Install the Azure Boards app for GitHub from the GitHub Marketplace and authorize it for the relevant repositories.
Add the setting boardIntegration: true to the team's Azure Pipelines YAML file to enable automatic work-item linkage.
Open Project Settings in Azure Boards and enable the option Link GitHub commits and pull requests to work items.
Azure Boards and GitHub integrate through the Azure Boards app available in the GitHub Marketplace. Installing this app at the GitHub organization or repository level establishes the secure, OAuth-based connection that allows Azure Boards to receive webhooks for commits and pull requests. After the app is installed, you complete the authorization flow by selecting the Azure DevOps organization and project. Other actions-such as creating service connections, adding PATs, or editing pipeline YAML-are unnecessary for basic work-item linking and will not establish the webhook required to capture commit or pull-request metadata.
