Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question

Your company runs a containerized workload in an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. The workload must read secrets from an Azure Key Vault in the same subscription. Security guidelines state that authentication must be non-interactive, no long-lived credentials may be stored in the cluster or in code, and access must be limited only to that Key Vault. Which approach should you implement to meet the requirements?

  • Configure the application to authenticate to Key Vault by using local vault credentials stored in an Azure DevOps variable group.

  • Enable a system-assigned managed identity on the AKS cluster and grant that identity permission to get secrets in the Key Vault.

  • Create a service principal that uses a certificate credential, assign it Owner rights on the resource group that contains the Key Vault, and mount the certificate into the pod.

  • Create a service principal with a client secret valid for two years, assign it the Key Vault Secrets User role at the subscription scope, and store the secret as a Kubernetes secret.
