Which of the following is a valid authentication method for accessing an Azure Service Bus namespace?

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) managed identity

A developer is writing a .NET application that sends messages to an Azure Service Bus queue. The application runs in an Azure App Service with a system-assigned managed identity. The team wants to avoid managing secrets. Which authentication approach should the developer use?

Use the AzureCliCredential class to authenticate with the developer's Azure CLI login.

Use the DefaultAzureCredential class from the Azure.Identity library, which will use the managed identity automatically.

Use the SharedAccessSignatureCredential class with a SAS token generated at runtime.

Use the connection string from the Service Bus namespace and store it in the application settings.

A team is building a microservices application that uses Azure Service Bus. They have a requirement that messages must be processed in order, but they also need to handle a high throughput of messages. They are considering using sessions, but they are concerned about the performance impact. What should they do?

Use sessions and increase the number of session-enabled queues.

Use a non-session queue and rely on the order of arrival.

Use sessions and configure the MaxConcurrentSessions to a high value.

Use a topic with multiple subscriptions.

A company uses Azure Service Bus queues for a high-throughput system. They are experiencing throttling and need to increase the throughput. They have already enabled partitioning. What else can they do?

Use a topic instead of a queue.

Increase the number of queues and distribute messages across them.

In Azure Service Bus, what is the primary purpose of a queue?

To route messages to multiple subscribers based on filters

To provide a temporary buffer for streaming data

To store large files for asynchronous processing

To store messages until a consumer processes them
