Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question

Your organization keeps a 15-GB monorepo in Azure Repos Git that has grown over eight years. New developers on Windows report that initial clone and subsequent fetch operations take an unacceptably long time. You must recommend a solution that reduces onboarding time, leaves the commit history intact, and automatically performs background maintenance such as repack and garbage collection while remaining fully compatible with standard Git commands. What should you recommend?

  • Have developers install and register the repository with Scalar to enable partial cloning and automated maintenance.

  • Configure sparse checkout patterns so that each developer pulls only the folders they need.

  • Move all historical content to Git Large File Storage (LFS) and keep only pointers in the repository.

  • Migrate the repository to Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) to avoid Git scalability limits.
