DP-203 Practice Question: Secure, monitor, and optimize data storage and data processing

You have an Azure Databricks workspace that processes sensitive data. The security team requires that all access to the workspace be authenticated using Microsoft Entra ID and that all API calls be audited. Which configuration should you implement?

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

Configure workspace to use Microsoft Entra ID authentication and enable diagnostic settings for audit logs.

It directly addresses both requirements: Microsoft Entra ID authentication ensures all access is authenticated via Entra ID, and enabling diagnostic settings captures audit logs for all API calls. Option B (VNet injection) provides network isolation, not authentication or auditing. Option C (Private Link) ensures private connectivity, not authentication or auditing. Option D (personal access tokens) bypasses Entra ID, and cluster logs do not capture API audit trails.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Configure workspace to use Microsoft Entra ID authentication and enable diagnostic settings for audit logs.

    Why this is correct

    Entra ID authentication ensures identity-based access, and diagnostic settings capture API call logs.

  • Enable VNet injection and configure network security groups.

    Why it's wrong here

    VNet injection provides network isolation but does not enforce Entra ID authentication or audit API calls.

  • Deploy Azure Private Link and disable public access.

    Why it's wrong here

    Private Link secures network connectivity but does not enforce authentication or auditing.

  • Configure personal access tokens for API access and enable cluster logs.

    Why it's wrong here

    Personal access tokens do not use Entra ID authentication.
