Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

You are designing a configuration strategy for a set of .NET micro-services running in both Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure App Service. The services currently store JSON configuration files inside their container images, so any change requires a new build and redeployment. Business stakeholders now want to:

  • Centralize all non-secret settings for the services.
  • Enable feature flags that can be toggled without redeploying code.
  • Support environment-specific overrides (Dev, Test, Prod).
  • Keep secrets such as connection strings in Azure Key Vault, but reference them from the same configuration store.
  • Minimize code changes in the applications. Which Azure service should you recommend to meet these requirements?
  • Azure App Configuration with Key Vault-backed references for secrets

  • Kubernetes ConfigMaps for application settings together with Azure Policy for feature toggling

  • Azure Automation State Configuration (DSC) to push configuration files to each node

  • Azure Key Vault as the sole store for both settings and secrets
