Lesson 8 of the free AZ-401 series (domain 3): choosing Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions, designing the runner infrastructure (cost, tools, licenses, connectivity, maintainability), self-hosted agents, Managed DevOps Pools, GitHub larger runners, Actions Runner Controller, and the Azure Pipelines app for GitHub. With three quick checks and a recap.

- Contoso’s Azure Pipelines builds of GitHub code stopped when the developer whose token they used left the company. What should the team set up?
