You are a developer at Contoso Ltd. The company has an existing .NET Core web application hosted on Azure App Service that allows users to upload images. The application currently stores images directly to Azure Blob Storage using connection strings stored in the Web.config file. The security team has mandated that all secrets must be stored in Azure Key Vault and rotated automatically. Additionally, the application must be able to access the Key Vault without storing any credentials in the application code or configuration files. The application uses Microsoft Entra ID for user authentication. You need to modify the application to meet these requirements with minimal changes to the application code. You have the following resources: an Azure Key Vault instance with the secrets (storage account connection string) already stored; a managed identity enabled for the App Service. You want to use the Key Vault references feature of Azure App Configuration or direct Key Vault access. Which approach should you take?

Your company is building a real-time dashboard that displays sales data from multiple stores. The data is generated as events from point-of-sale systems and must be ingested with low latency. The dashboard needs to display aggregated data (e.g., total sales per store per minute) with a maximum delay of 5 seconds from event generation. You have decided to use Azure Event Hubs for ingestion and Azure Stream Analytics for real-time processing. The processed data will be stored in Azure Cosmos DB for the dashboard to query. However, the dashboard requires that the data in Cosmos DB be updated as soon as new aggregations are available. You need to design the output from Azure Stream Analytics to Cosmos DB. Which output configuration should you use?

Which role assignments are required on the Event Hubs namespace and the storage account?

Wide World Importers has an Azure API Management (APIM) instance that exposes several APIs. One API is a custom REST API hosted on an Azure App Service. The API requires authentication via a subscription key. APIM is configured to require subscription keys for all APIs. The team wants to offload authentication to APIM so that backend services do not need to validate keys. However, the backend API also needs to know the identity of the calling application for logging. The team decides to use APIM's OAuth 2.0 authorization with Microsoft Entra ID. The backend API should receive the JWT token from APIM. How should the team configure APIM to pass the token to the backend?
