Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

You need to connect an existing Azure Boards project to multiple repositories in your organization's GitHub Enterprise Cloud account so that every commit or pull request comment that contains a token such as "AB#5321" automatically links to the matching work item in Azure Boards. No integration has been configured yet. Which action must you perform first to enable this cross-system linking?

Add a repository secret that stores an Azure DevOps personal access token with Work Items scope.
Create a GitHub service connection in Azure DevOps Project Settings and grant it repository scope.
Turn on the Boards integration option under the repository's branch protection rules.
Install the Azure Boards app from GitHub Marketplace for the GitHub organization and authorize it to the Azure DevOps organization.

Answer Description

The Azure Boards-GitHub integration is provided by the "Azure Boards" app in the GitHub Marketplace. Installing that app at the GitHub organization (or repository) level and then authorizing it to access the target Azure DevOps organization establishes the secure, server-side connection that allows Azure Boards to receive webhooks from GitHub. This allows for linking work items using the "AB#ID" syntax in commit messages, pull request titles, or pull request descriptions. Service connections, repository secrets, or branch-protection settings are not the primary methods for this capability and would be configured for other purposes or after the app is installed.
