AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
Your organization uses Azure Service Bus Topics. You need to ensure that messages published to a topic are delivered to subscriptions in a specific priority order (e.g., high priority messages processed before normal priority). What is the recommended Service Bus design pattern to achieve this?
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
✓
Create separate queues or subscriptions for high-priority and normal-priority messages, and have workers poll the high-priority entity first.
Because Service Bus Topics do not support intra-topic message priority sorting, the recommended design pattern is to create separate subscriptions or separate topics/queues for high-priority versus normal messages, or use multiple queues.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create separate queues or subscriptions for high-priority and normal-priority messages, and have workers poll the high-priority entity first.
Why this is correct
Separate entities or subscriptions allow consumers to prioritize polling high-priority work streams.
- ✗
Set the Priority property on the Service Bus message header to 99.
Why it's wrong here
Service Bus message headers do not include a priority sorting mechanism that reorders messages inside a single queue.
- ✗
Configure Event Hubs partition key hashing to group priority messages.
Why it's wrong here
Partition hashing distributes data across partitions based on keys, it does not sort message priority.
- ✗
Enable Event Grid priority filters on the topic.
Why it's wrong here
Event Grid is a separate service; Event Grid filters route events, they do not sort queue priority.
