Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

Enabling Microsoft Entra ID authentication for the storage account and assigning appropriate permissions to the application provides secure access without using access keys. This approach uses role-based access control (RBAC), allowing fine-grained permission management and eliminating the need to handle access keys. Storing access keys in Azure Key Vault still involves distributing keys to the application, which can pose security risks. Using a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token exposes a token that could be misused if intercepted. Directly providing the access keys is insecure as it grants full access to the storage account.
