an Azure DevOps organization

B. an Azure DevOps organization. Azure DevOps provides developer services to support teams to plan work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy applications. It includes Azure Pipelines, which is a CI/CD platform that can automate your build and deployment processes. Once you have an Azure DevOps organization and a project set up, you can create a pipeline for your app and configure it to deploy to your VM. Please note that while the other options are also Azure services, they serve different purposes and are not the first thing you would need to set up for CI/CD in this scenario. An App Service Environment is a fully isolated and dedicated environment for running Azure App Service apps securely at high scale, a managed identity is a feature of Azure Active Directory, and an Azure Automation account is used to manage automation services including runbooks and configurations.

Important to note here that the app is being deployed to VM1. If the app was being hosted in an Azure App Service, it could handle CI/CD through other methods. But DevOps is the only option here that makes sense for a VM-hosted app.

Azure DevOps (Visual Studio Team Services / Team Foundation Server) consists of a set of tools and services that help developers implement DevOps, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Deployment processes for their development projects.
