I think from all the discourse and referenced links we can summarize: 1. There is no evidence that self hosted agents are part of the solution. 2. The exact order of Connect and Publish depends on if you consider "connect to publish" or "connect to consume" a package (credits to Yumico), IMHO the following is the most precise resource to be considered in this case: https://microsoft.github.io/AzureTipsAndTricks/blog/tip206.html and it says: Create, Connect, Publish, Use (=Install) Last not least: - Create, Connect, Publish, Install => will be the right order no matter if you understand "connect to publish" or "connect to consume" - Create, Publish, Connect, Install => will be only right for "connect to consume"

why you need to install? just connect will confirm if it can be used privately.

You also have to test it, not just verify that you can download it.

You can't publish the package without connecting first to it, your answer is wrong.

"without connecting first to it" By this I mean without connecting first to the feed, of course. I can't edit my comments here in examtopics.

Azure Artifacts enables developers to publish and download NuGet packages from different sources such as feeds and public registries. With Azure Artifacts, you can create feeds that can be either private, allowing you to share packages with your team and specific users, or public, enabling you to share them openly with anyone on the internet. In this article, you'll learn how to: Create a new feed Set up your project and connect to your feed Publish NuGet packages Download packages from your feed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/get-started-nuget?view=azure-devops&tabs=windows

Correct answer: 1. Create - you need a feed before doing anything 2. Connect - you need to provide in your project settings the connection details before any publish or install operation can be done 3. Publish - your feed now needs packages, so push some. 4. Install - the project can now pull and install packages from the custom feed instead of using NuGet or whatever feeds it used in the past.

From our link it says download and publish, should 3 and 4 reverse?

The link explains how to download and publish independently of one another. This doesn't mean that you have to download it first. it doesn't even make sense. How are you going to download a package from the feed if it is not published in that feed yet?

Create a new Azure Artifacts feed: This is where you'll be hosting your NuGet package privately. Azure Artifacts allows you to host and share packages within your organization, making it a perfect choice for your use case. Publish a package: After creating the Azure Artifacts feed, the next step is to publish your NuGet package to this feed. You'll need to make sure you've properly configured your package for publishing, which includes providing the necessary metadata in the .nuspec file. Connect to an Azure Artifacts feed: Once the package is published, you or your development team will need to connect to the Azure Artifacts feed to consume the package. This typically involves adding the feed to your NuGet configuration in Visual Studio or another development environment. Install a package: The final step in verifying that the package can be consumed is to actually install it. Using the NuGet CLI or the package management functionality in your development environment, you can install the package from the Azure Artifacts feed and confirm that it works as expected.

You have to connect to the feed to consume the package, but also to publish it in the feed, so you have to connect before publishing. How are you going to publish a package to a feed without connecting first to it?

1. Create 2. Connect 3. Install 4. Publish The question doesn't say anything about consuming the published package. I guess the "Install" refers to the installation of nuget and AACP as mentioned in #4 under "Connect to Feed" in this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/get-started-nuget?view=azure-devops&tabs=windows#create-a-feed
