AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
Your team is building an asynchronous order processing pipeline. If a downstream AI service fails to process a message from a Service Bus queue after 5 delivery attempts, the message must be automatically removed from active processing and preserved for manual inspection. What should you configure?
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 the Max Delivery Count property on the queue and enable dead-lettering on message expiration or failure.
Azure Service Bus provides a dead-letter queue (DLQ) feature. When max delivery count is exceeded, the message is automatically moved to the DLQ for troubleshooting.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable Duplicate Detection with a history window of 5 attempts.
Why it's wrong here
Duplicate detection prevents ingestion of identical message IDs within a time window, not processing failures.
- ✓
Configure the Max Delivery Count property on the queue and enable dead-lettering on message expiration or failure.
Why this is correct
Setting max delivery count and dead-lettering ensures poison messages are quarantined automatically.
- ✗
Set the AutoDeleteOnIdle property on the queue to 5 minutes.
Why it's wrong here
AutoDeleteOnIdle deletes the entire queue when empty for a duration, not individual failed messages.
- ✗
Implement Event Grid dead-lettering pointing to an Azure Blob Storage container.
Why it's wrong here
While Event Grid supports dead-lettering to storage, Service Bus queues use their own native DLQ mechanism.
