You manage build and release pipelines by using Azure DevOps. Your entire managed environment resides in Azure.
You need to configure a service endpoint for accessing Azure Key Vault secrets. The solution must meet the following requirements:
Ensure that the secrets are retrieved by Azure DevOps. Avoid persisting credentials and tokens in Azure DevOps.
How should you configure the service endpoint? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Solution:
