Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

Using Azure Key Vault to store and manage the storage account access keys is the best method. Azure Key Vault provides a secure, centralized repository for managing secrets, keys, and certificates, including storage account access keys. It offers features like automated key rotation, fine-grained access control through Azure RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), and logging of key usage. While manually regenerating keys or automating key regeneration with scripts can help with rotation, they do not provide the same level of security, auditing, and management capabilities. Implementing Azure AD authentication reduces reliance on access keys by enabling identity-based access, but access keys may still be required for certain applications or scenarios.
