Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use system-assigned or user-assigned managed identities for Azure service-to-service authentication.
Why this is correct
Correct. Managed identities eliminate the need for developers to manage credentials.
- ✗
Store API keys and connection strings as plain text in Git repository configuration files.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Storing plain-text secrets in code repositories is a major security vulnerability.
- ✓
Store runtime secrets and certificates in Azure Key Vault.
Why this is correct
Correct. Azure Key Vault provides centralized and secure secret storage.
- ✗
Grant subscription Owner permissions to all mobile client applications.
Why it's wrong here
