You plan to provision a self-hosted Linux agent

Which authentication mechanism should you use to register the self-hosted agent?

ASSH key

Bpersonal access token (PAT)

CAlternate credentials

Dcertificate

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Note: PAT Supported only on Azure Pipelines and TFS 2017 and newer. After you choose PAT, paste the PAT token you created into the command prompt window. Use a personal access token (PAT) if your Azure DevOps Server or TFS instance and the agent machine are not in a trusted domain. PAT authentication is handled by your Azure DevOps Server or TFS instance instead of the domain controller.

Alternate credentials? Not sure that's the best option here.

Definitely SSH keys, they're more secure.

Wait, can you really use certificates for this? Sounds odd.

I feel like certificates could be an option too, but I don't recall if they are commonly used for this specific purpose.

I'm a bit confused about the alternate credentials. Do we really use those for self-hosted agents, or is that more for other scenarios?

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think SSH keys were mentioned as a secure option for authentication.

I think we might need to use a personal access token (PAT) for registering the agent, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think I've got this one. The "NotNow" message suggests the device is not ready to install the app right now, so it's likely an issue with connectivity or compatibility. I'll go with option C.

The duties and responsibilities seem like the logical choice here. That's where the key performance expectations are outlined, so that's what I would focus on for the evaluation.

The missing work is needed for the MVP, so I think the project manager should recommend the product owner prioritize it higher.

I've got an idea - I think granting the read-only privilege to the service account for the Cloud Storage bucket is the way to go. That seems like the most targeted and least privileged approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions Adaptive Network Control policy, so I'm wondering if that might be related to the method used to signal ISE. I'll have to think this through carefully.
