Smart Detection automatically warns you of potential performance problems and failure anomalies in your web application. It performs proactive analysis of the telemetry that yourapp sends to Application Insights. If there is a sudden rise in failure rates, or abnormal patterns in client or server performance, you get an alert.

Instead use implement continuous integration.

Note: WhiteSource is the leader incontinuous open source software security and compliance management. WhiteSource integrates into your build process, irrespective of your programming languages, build tools, or development environments. It works automatically, continuously, and silently inthe background, checking the security, licensing, and quality of youropen source components against WhiteSource constantly-updated definitive database of open source repositories.

Reorder a wiki page

You can reorder pages withinthe wiki tree view to have pages appear in the order and hierarchy you want. You can drag-and-drop a page title in the tree view to do the following operations:

Change the parent-child relationship of a page

Change the order of the page within the hierarchy

The Feature Manager in the Azure portal for App Configuration provides a UI for creating and managing the featureflags that you use in your applications.

App Configuration offers the following benefits:

A fully managed service that can be set up in minutes

Flexible key representations and mappings

Tagging with labels

Point-in-time replay of settings

Dedicated UI forfeature flag management

Comparison of two sets of configurations on custom-defined dimensions

Enhanced security through Azure-managed identities

Encryption of sensitive information at rest and in transit

Native integration with popular frameworks

App Configuration complements Azure Key Vault, which is used to store application secrets.

Step 1: Access Azure DevOps

Open your browser and navigate to https://aex.dev.azure.com .

You will be prompted to sign in. Enter the following credentials:

Username: UserUser1-48901628@cxamUsers.com

Password: aFpJ2j-6M!

Click Next or Sign in to proceed.

Note: If you see any Microsoft security challenge (like phone or email verification), follow the instructions to complete it.

Step 2: Sign Up for Azure DevOps

After signing in, you’ll see a prompt to sign up for Azure DevOps.

Use the default settings provided by Azure DevOps for the sign-up process (region, default name, etc.).

Click Continue or Start free with Azure DevOps.

An Azure DevOps Organization is a container for your projects and resources. Default settings are usually fine for new organizations.

Step 3: Create the Organization

Enter a name for your organization. Azure DevOps will suggest a default name (like yourname or org-name), but you can change it if you prefer.

Verify the region is correct.

Click Continue to create the organization.

Your Azure DevOps organization is now created. It’s the top-level container for all your projects.

Step 4: Create a Private Project Named Project1

In your Azure DevOps portal, find the "New Project" button and click it.

Enter the following details:

Project Name: Project1

Description: (optional)

Visibility: Private

Click Create.

A private project means that only users you add can see or access it. This is important for security and privacy.

Step 5: Enforce Maximum File Size for Repositories

By default, Azure DevOps allows files up to 100 MB to be pushed. To ensure the maximum file size for repositories in Project1 is 2 MB, you can enforce this using a pipeline validation.

Azure DevOps does not provide a direct setting for file size limits. However, you can create a pipeline to validate file size on pull requests and block changes if a file exceeds 2 MB.

Here’s how to do it:

Option 1: Enforce with a pipeline validation for pull requests

In your Project1, create a new pipeline.

Use the following YAML for the pipeline:

yaml

Copy

trigger: none

pr:

branches:

include:

- "*"

jobs:

- job: CheckFileSize

pool:

vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

steps:

- script: |

echo "Checking file sizes in the PR..."

git fetch origin +refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

large_files=$(git diff --cached --name-only | xargs -I{} du -b {} | awk '$1 > 2097152 {print $2}')

if [ -n "$large_files" ]; then

echo "Error: The following files exceed 2 MB:"

echo "$large_files"

exit 1

fi

displayName: 'Check file sizes in PR'

This pipeline will:

Run on pull requests only.

Check the size of all files in the pull request.

If any file is larger than 2 MB (2,097,152 bytes), it will fail the pipeline and block the PR.

Option 2: Local Git configuration (for each developer)

On each developer’s machine, run this command in their local repository:

bash

Copy

git config --local core.bigFileThreshold 2M

This limits the file threshold for checkout, but does not prevent large files from being pushed. Using the pipeline validation (Option 1) is more secure for team environments.
