Exam SC-100 topic 3 question 35 discussion

from ChatGPT: Based on the requirements of ensuring that all code changes are submitted through pull requests before being deployed by the CI/CD workflow and aligning with DevSecOps controls guidance, the recommended solution for ensuring this process is followed should be branch policies in Azure Repos. Branch policies in Azure Repos provide a way to enforce code review policies before a pull request can be completed and merged into a target branch. This ensures that all code changes are submitted through a pull request and reviewed by other members of the team before being deployed by the CI/CD workflow. Branch policies can be configured to require specific reviewers, require a minimum number of approvals, and block direct pushes to the target branch. This helps to ensure that code changes are thoroughly reviewed and meet the established standards before being merged into the target branch. Therefore, the correct answer is B) branch policies in Azure Repos.

B is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/branch-policies-overview?view=azure-devops#adopt-a-git-branching-strategy There are a few critical branches in your repo that the team relies on always being in good shape, such as your main branch. Require pull requests to make any changes on these branches. Developers pushing changes directly to the protected branches will have their pushes rejected.
