Wrong. There are 3 levels: Stages, Jobs, and Tasks. First level is Stages, second level is Jobs, and third level is Tasks. At the first level we see only one Stage, which is build VM. All Jobs are under that Stage since they are indented and are at the same level. There are 4 Jobs - Initialize build, deploy_to_dev, deploy_to_uat, and Finalize Build. Next level of indentation are tasks. Final answer: 1 stage, 4 jobs (unless you don't count that Finalize Build, but then, what is it, nothing? So going with that as a job because it has a task under it.

As per AZ-400t00 course material: Stages are the primary divisions in a pipeline: "build the app," "run integration tests," and "deploy to user acceptance testing" are 3 good examples of stages.

1-build vm : It has just one job, Initialize Build 2- deploy_to_dev 3-deploy_to_uat 4-Finalize Build -No need to count this Finalize Build stage. It will come automatically to all the pipelines.

wrong - reporting a build status at it's shown it something custom, not automatic - so 4 stages and 1 job

Correct answer is 3 stages and 3 jobs. Reproduced this and after the build stage I get a finalize job task, then after the deploy stage I also got finalize job task. Each job is marked via a green thick sign. You have info about the job preparation parameters. You can also look at the raw log for each of the jobs.

1 stage, 3 jobs. Order is stages, inside stages jobs, inside jobs steps. There is 1 stage in the pipeline called build vm. There are 3 jobs called initialize build, deploy to dev, deploy to uat. The 4th is default state, which does not count. Hope this makes it clear, because most people here are wrong and the given answer is also wrong

There are 2 stages: Build and Deploy. In the Build stage, there is 1 job named Build. In the Deploy stage, there are 2 jobs: Deploy to Pre-production and Deploy to Production. So, in total: There are 2 stages. There are 3 jobs.

As per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/get-started/key-pipelines-concepts?view=azure-devops#stage - A stage is a logical boundary in the pipeline. It can be used to mark separation of concerns (for example, Build, QA, and production). Each stage contains one or more jobs. When you define multiple stages in a pipeline, by default, they run one after the other. You can specify the conditions for when a stage runs. So it should be 1 stage and 4 jobs.

Yours makes the most sense. Stages have jobs and jobs have tasks. There is only 1 stage here and you can debate whether it's 3 or 4 jobs but I'm going with 4 since there's a green task in the 4th one.

The Finalize/Report Build is automatic and not considered as a job. The Finalize Job is not considerd a job. It's an automatic indication that the processes have been completed. You cannot have more stages than jobs. Each job is a process completed with a stage. I say: 3 stages, 4 jobs.
