Simplify Azure DevOps Projects with a Single Package Feed

B

Upstream sources enable you to use a single feed to store both the packages you produce and the packages you consume from "remote feeds". This includes both public feeds, such as npmjs.com and nuget.org, and authenticated feeds, such as other Azure DevOps feeds in your organization. Once you've enabled an upstream source, any user connected to your feed can install a package from the remote feed, and your feed will save a copy.

The correct answer is A. Universal Packages.

Azure Artifacts is a package management tool that allows users to create, host, and share packages. It supports many package types, including NuGet, npm, and Maven. A package feed is a location where packages are stored and made available for use by other applications.

In this scenario, the goal is to simplify the project by using a single feed. Universal Packages are a type of package that can store any type of file, including executables, scripts, and configuration files. Universal Packages can also be used to store packages produced by your company and packages consumed from remote feeds.

Using Universal Packages, you can store all your packages in a single feed and then use upstream sources to pull packages from other public or authenticated feeds. Upstream sources are used to configure a package source to act as a proxy for other package sources. This means that packages can be retrieved from multiple sources while still only using a single feed.

Views in Azure Artifacts can be used to organize and filter packages, but they do not simplify the project by using a single feed. A symbol server is used for debugging and does not relate to package feeds.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Universal Packages.
