A company generates shared access signature (SAS) tokens to grant time-limited access to blobs in an Azure Storage container. A security administrator needs the ability to immediately revoke all active SAS tokens for that container if a token is compromised. What should they use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Use a stored access policy on the container and reference it in the SAS token.

Revoking the stored access policy immediately invalidates all SAS tokens that reference it.

B

Distractor review

Use a user delegation key to create the SAS token.

User delegation keys provide delegation but do not support centralized revocation.

C

Distractor review

Use an account-level SAS token.

Account-level SAS tokens apply to all services in the storage account; revocation requires regenerating the account key, affecting other applications.

D

Distractor review

Use a service-level SAS token with IP address restrictions.

IP restrictions limit the source, but the token cannot be centrally revoked.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-500 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Use a stored access policy on the container and reference it in the SAS token. — By associating SAS tokens with a stored access policy on the container, you can revoke all tokens by modifying or deleting the policy. User delegation keys cannot be revoked individually. Account-level SASs apply to the entire storage account and are harder to revoke. Service-level SASs with IP restrictions do not provide centralized revocation.
