Hey guys, this is an exam for Azure, not for Octopus. Do not over-think. The right approach should be and always be around Azure. The key point is the on-premises dependency management system. In Azure, the self-host build agent is designed for this purpose. The self-host agent is in the default agent pool. The rest of requirements could be done in ADO. So the answer is NO.

I think answer is NO, Octopus is a deployment tool, I don't see how it helps with build process.

Octobus is the deployment tool only. As per the question we use buld pipeline in azuredevops and get the dependecny packages from octubus server. So the answer is correct I think

According to this lab 'https://azuredevopslabs.com/labs/vstsextend/octopus/' Octopus is able to help with the build process, it has appropriate build tasks. For instance, Package Application task can 'package the ASP.NET Core build output into a zip file with the version number'.

IMHO answer is NO because the question asks for using the Package Application task in the build pipeline. And it's clearly wrong for CI process. this task is the first step to deployment not for build. https://azuredevopslabs.com/labs/vstsextend/octopus/

All the comments about Octopus not helping the build process is valid and logical and the question can interpreted in a lot of ways.... the buzz word in the question is "integration" and we talk about integration when there is 3rd party tool involved. so the answer "yes" should be correct. did anybody saw this question in Exam?

Why would we use Octopus when DevOps already have build and release pipelines? Agents can be self hosted under which can be on-prem as well as Azure VM if we established VPN (site to site) which provides on-prem connectivity. Connection to Azure, Artifacts, and so would be much better using built-in feature. Therefore the answer should 'No'.

The answer is yes, you can refer to TechieBloke. While I agree the answer is vague, I believe its suppose to reference the full Octopus Deploy tool which it can do all of the listed requirements.
