Q1. A development team has implemented Azure Pipelines. They have defined
an approval process based on a condition. There is a policy attached that the
approvals must be completed within 5 hours. But after implementation, the
deployments start failing after 2 hours. You need to ensure that the deployments
only fail if the approval time is longer than 5 hours. You decide to modify the
Timeout setting from the post-deployment approvals from the post-deployment
conditions section. Would this fulfil the requirement?
