Exam AZ-400 topic 1 question 13 discussion

GitHub Enterprise is the on-premises version of GitHub.com. GitHub Enterprise includes the same great set of features as GitHub.com but packaged for running on your organization's local network. All repository data is stored on machines that you control, and access is integrated with your organization's authentication system (LDAP, SAML, or CAS). Answer is A

GitHub Enterprise Server is the only option here that: Supports on-premises installation Can run on a Windows server Gives you full control over the repository hosting

The key is here: windows server on the company network. Devops is out (cloud), bitbucket cloud is out also cloud GitHub professional is cloud only. I think only GitHub enterprise remains.

D. Git in Azure Repos: Azure Repos is part of Azure DevOps. A. GitHub Enterprise: While it allows on-premises installations, it's a separate product and doesn't integrate as directly with Azure Pipelines without additional configuration. Answer is D

In Azure DevOps, the repository is Azure Repos. Although it specifies a local Windows environment, it can be accessed using a self-hosted agent within the private network.

You are making use of "Azure DevOps"

GitHub Enterprise Server is distributed as a virtual appliance and can be hosted on various platforms, including: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure VMware OpenStack KVM Hyper-V XenServer All components of the platform are contained within the virtual machine, with no external dependencies other than those connected via the hypervisor.

Git in Azure Repos is an integrated, cloud-hosted version control system that works seamlessly with Azure DevOps, allowing you to store your source code in a Git repository. It's ideal for storing code on a managed Windows server in your company network because it integrates directly into the Azure DevOps ecosystem, making it easy to set up CI/CD pipelines and other DevOps features.

The correct option is **D. Git in Azure Repos**. ### Explanation - **Git in Azure Repos**: This option allows you to store your source code on a managed server within the Azure DevOps environment. It's designed to integrate seamlessly with Azure Pipelines and can be configured to run on a managed Windows server located on your company's network. - **GitHub Enterprise** and **GitHub Professional**: These options are more suitable for cloud-based repositories and may not align with your requirement to use a managed Windows server on your company network. - **Bitbucket Cloud**: Similar to GitHub, Bitbucket Cloud is a cloud-based solution and doesn't meet the requirement for a managed Windows server located on your company's network. By using Git in Azure Repos, you can ensure that your source code is managed and stored securely within your organization's infrastructure, while also benefiting from the integration with Azure DevOps for your CI/CD needs.

While GitHub Enterprise allows you to host your own instance of GitHub (on-premises or in a private cloud), this would be more for GitHub-specific workflows. Since you're working with Azure DevOps, Git in Azure Repos would be more integrated for Azure Pipelines.

Azure Repos: Azure Repos provides Git repositories as part of Azure DevOps. It's specifically designed to work seamlessly with Azure Pipelines and other Azure DevOps services. Using Azure Repos means you can host your source code within Azure DevOps, which is directly integrated with Azure Pipelines for continuous integration and delivery. On-Premises Option: If you need to manage your own infrastructure and keep the source code on a Windows server within your company's network, Azure Repos also provides options for self-hosted Git repositories. This configuration allows for compliance with company policies regarding data residency and access.

Azure Repos provides Git-based version control directly integrated with Azure DevOps.

While GitHub Enterprise supports private repositories and can be hosted on-premises, it is not a direct part of Azure DevOps. Additionally, the question does not mention using GitHub Enterprise or hosting GitHub on the company network.

GitHub Enterprise allows installation on Win servers, therefore it should be the correct answer: To install GitHub Enterprise Server on Hyper-V, you must deploy onto a machine running Windows Server 2008 through Windows Server 2022.

D. Git in Azure Repos Git in Azure Repos allows code to be managed and hosted on Azure DevOps, which provides a controlled environment integrated with Azure Pipelines. You can synchronize or mirror this code to an on-premises environment if needed. GitHub Enterprise (A) and GitHub Professional (C) are both GitHub-based solutions, which are primarily cloud-hosted platforms. While GitHub Enterprise can be hosted on-premises, it is not directly integrated with Azure DevOps. Bitbucket Cloud (B) is a cloud-based solution hosted by Atlassian and does not offer on-premises hosting options for a Windows server. Thus, Git in Azure Repos is the best option for your requirements in Azure DevOps.

The correct answer is D. Git in Azure Repos. Explanation: Since the question specifies that the source code needs to be stored on a managed Windows server located on the company network, Azure DevOps provides an option for on-premises version control through Azure Repos, which can be configured to run on a company's own infrastructure. Azure Repos supports both Git and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). GitHub Enterprise (A) and GitHub Professional (C) are cloud-based services, not designed for hosting on managed Windows servers within the company network. Bitbucket Cloud (B) is also a cloud-based version control system and doesn't fit the requirement of storing the source code on an internal company server. Git in Azure Repos (D) is the correct choice, as it can be used on-premises via Azure DevOps Server, which is designed to run on a company's network infrastructure. Thus, the correct version control system for this scenario is Git in Azure Repos.
