AI-102 Plan and manage an Azure AI solution Practice Question
You are designing a solution that uses Azure AI Document Intelligence to extract data from invoices. The solution must handle high throughput and process documents in batch. Which TWO configuration options should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the synchronous API (which is simpler but not scalable) with the async API (which is designed for batch and high throughput), and they may also overlook that the free tier (F0) cannot handle production-level batch loads.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Provision a standard (S0) tier Document Intelligence resource
The standard (S0) tier is required for production-grade throughput because it offers higher transactions per second (TPS) and better scalability compared to the free (F0) tier. For batch processing of invoices, the async document analysis API is the correct choice because it supports submitting multiple documents in a single call and returns results via a polling mechanism, which is designed for high-volume scenarios.
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 the synchronous API for each invoice
Why it's wrong here
Synchronous API is for single documents; batch requires async.
- ✗
Train a custom model for invoice extraction
Why it's wrong here
Prebuilt invoice model exists and does not require custom training.
- ✓
Provision a standard (S0) tier Document Intelligence resource
Why this is correct
S0 tier supports higher throughput and batch processing.
- ✓
Implement batch processing using the async document analysis API
Why this is correct
Async API supports batch processing of multiple documents.
- ✗
Store output directly in Azure Blob Storage without API calls
Why it's wrong here
Output must be processed via the API; Blob Storage is optional storage.
