What should you include in the deployment pipeline to ensure that the appropriate data source locations are used during each stage?

You have a Power Bl workspace that contains one dataset and four reports that connect to the dataset.

The dataset uses Import storage mode and contains the following data sources:

• A CSV file in an Azure Storage account

• An Azure Database for PostgreSQL database

You plan to use deployment pipelines to promote the content from development to test to production. There will be different data source locations for each stage.

What should you include in the deployment pipeline to ensure that the appropriate data source locations are used during each stage?
A . parameter rules
B . selective deployment
C . auto-binding across pipelines
D . data source rules

Answer: A

Explanation:

Note: Create deployment rules

When working in a deployment pipeline, different stages may have different configurations. For example, each stage can have different databases or different query parameters. The development stage might query sample data from the database, while the test and production stages query the entire database.

When you deploy content between pipeline stages, configuring deployment rules enables you to allow changes to content, while keeping some settings intact. For example, if you want a dataset in a production stage to point to a production database, you can define a rule for this. The rule is defined in the production stage, under the appropriate dataset. Once the rule is defined, content deployed from test to production, will inherit the value as defined in the deployment rule, and will always apply as long as the rule is unchanged and valid.
