Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your organization stores source code in a private GitHub Enterprise Cloud repository and manages work in an Azure DevOps Services project. Developers want every commit or pull request that contains the text "AB#" in its title or description to be automatically linked to the corresponding Azure Boards work item. You have confirmed that GitHub and Azure DevOps can communicate over the Internet. Which action must you perform to enable this integration?
Create a GitHub service connection in Azure Pipelines and grant it access to the repository.
Add a repository-level webhook in GitHub that calls the Azure DevOps REST API for work items.
Enable the Boards GitHub integration preview feature flag in the Azure DevOps organization settings.
Install the Azure Boards app for GitHub in the GitHub organization and authorize it to access the Azure DevOps project.
The automatic linkage between GitHub activity and Azure Boards work items is provided by the Azure Boards GitHub app. Installing the app in the GitHub organization (or individual repository) and granting it access to the appropriate Azure DevOps project establishes an OAuth-based connection. Once installed, any commit message or pull-request description that contains the AB#ID syntax is processed by the app and the work item is updated. A GitHub service connection, feature flag, or custom webhook is not sufficient because only the Azure Boards app implements the required event processing and authentication flow.
