Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Store the API keys in Azure Key Vault and enable automatic rotation every 7 days.
Why it's wrong here
Key rotation does not fulfill the requirement of customer-managed encryption keys for service data.
- ✓
Configure Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) using an Azure Key Vault key with soft-delete and purge protection enabled, linked via a managed identity.
Why this is correct
CMK allows organizations to use their own encryption keys with Azure AI services, requiring specific Key Vault configurations.
- ✗
Configure infrastructure encryption at rest using a Microsoft-managed default key.
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft-managed keys do not give the customer full control over the encryption key.
- ✗
Enable Always Encrypted on the Azure OpenAI resource configuration plane.
Why it's wrong here
Always Encrypted is an Azure SQL feature, not an Azure OpenAI feature.
