Question 1

You need to share a common library across multiple Azure DevOps projects without duplicating source code. What is the recommended Azure Artifacts approach?

Accepted Answer

Publish the library as a versioned package to a shared Azure Artifacts feed

Publishing the library as a versioned package to a shared Azure Artifacts feed is the recommended approach for reuse, versioning, and dependency management across projects.

Question 2

Which pip command generates a requirements.txt file that pins every installed package to its exact current version?

Accepted Answer

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Answer

'pip freeze' outputs all installed packages and their exact versions in requirements.txt format, enabling reproducible installs.

Question 3

Your team wants to enforce that all NuGet packages used in a solution come from the corporate Azure Artifacts feed only, blocking direct access to nuget.org. How do you enforce this?

Accepted Answer

Configure the feed with upstream sources disabled and distribute a NuGet.Config that points only to the corporate feed

Answer

Distributing a NuGet.Config that lists only the corporate feed and disabling upstream sources ensures all package resolution goes through the controlled feed.

Question 4

In Gradle, which configuration is used for dependencies required only at compile time and NOT needed at runtime?

Answer

'compileOnly' in Gradle marks dependencies that are needed to compile the code but should not be included in the runtime classpath or packaged artifact.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

WhiteSource (Mend) Bolt

Answer

WhiteSource Bolt (now Mend Bolt) is a free Azure DevOps extension that scans NuGet, npm, and other packages for open-source license compliance and vulnerabilities.
