Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure — Question 84

You have an Azure data factory connected to a Git repository that contains the following branches:

• main: Collaboration branch
• abc: Feature branch
• xyz: Feature branch

You save changes to a pipeline in the xyz branch.

You need to publish the changes to the live service.

What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Publish the data factory.
• B. Create a pull request to merge the changes into the main branch.
• C. Create a pull request to merge the changes into the abc branch.
• D. Push the code to a remote origin.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The first step in publishing changes made in a feature branch like xyz is to create a pull request to merge those changes into the main branch, which serves as the collaboration branch. This is necessary because changes must be reviewed and approved before they are deployed to the live service. The other options do not facilitate the merging process into the main branch, which is essential for publishing.
