Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Disable public network access on the Azure AI service resource and configure a private endpoint.
Why this is correct
Disabling public access and using private endpoints ensures network isolation.
- ✗
Expose the AI endpoint via an unencrypted HTTP binding for maximum performance.
Why it's wrong here
All Azure AI endpoints require HTTPS for transport layer security.
- ✗
Store all AI model weights and endpoint keys in public GitHub repositories for CI/CD access.
Why it's wrong here
Storing keys publicly is a critical security vulnerability.
- ✗
Configure a shared access signature (SAS) token with a 10-year expiration period.
Why it's wrong here
Long-lived SAS tokens violate security best practices.
- ✓
Assign the appropriate Azure RBAC role to the application's managed identity on the AI service.
Why this is correct
RBAC role assignments grant the managed identity permission to invoke the AI service APIs.
