But his is what it says here: "add a Copy and Publish Build Artifacts task to the deployment pipeline." so copy and publish as recommended. -> Answer is correct, YES.

I "like" such questions on exams. "If you're using Azure Pipelines, or Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2017 or newer, we recommend that you do NOT use this deprecated task. Instead, use the Copy Files and Publish Build Artifacts tasks." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/copy-and-publish-build-artifacts?view=azure-devops Based on that recommendation, it should be No, as they recommend to use two separate tasks for that

This is the meat and potatoes of the core stuff we're doing, deploying an Azure self-hosted agent on a on-premises server to copy artifacts from a build pipeline and make them available for later deployment. Pipeline 101 here!

Answer is A) Yes Since it's using the necessary task in order to deploy it on-premise servers. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/reference/copy-publish-build-artifacts-v1?view=azure-pipelines

Selected Answer: A

Azure Self-Hosted Agent: This agent is a software program installed on an on-premises server that acts as an extension of your Azure DevOps environment. It allows you to run tasks and scripts specific to your deployment process directly on the on-premises machine. Copy and Publish Build Artifacts Task: This task, available within Azure DevOps pipelines, enables you to transfer the artifacts generated during the build process to a designated location. In this case, the location would be the on-premises server where the self-hosted agent is installed.

Copy and Publish Build Artifacts task fits rather build pipeline than the one for the deployment.

One of those outdated questions again https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/copy-and-publish-build-artifacts?view=azure-devops "This task is deprecated. We recommend that you use Pipeline Artifacts." Answer is No in accordance to Microsoft recommendation

Very confusing! Here the deployment pipeline should download the artifacts and should not use copy and publish task as that should have been done in build pipeline already!

even if this task has been deprecated the answer is correct because probably the question is a little bit outdated https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/copy-and-publish-build-artifacts?view=azure-devops

Its No, the artifacts are already published. You should Download the Artifacts in during deployment. If you are creating artifacts during dpeloyment, that's an antipattern.

Should be no since artifact publishing should be done in build step and downloading should be done in deploy step.
