Question 100
A publicly exposed DAB instance floods SQL with unauthenticated expensive read requests. What maintenance or governance control BEST reduces recurrence of this problem?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use telemetry and abuse alerting across API and SQL. This guards against recurrence because autoscaling the API does not eliminate downstream database exhaustion or unauthorized access. The direct remediation is: Harden ingress, authentication, rate limiting and query bounds before production exposure.
Incorrect Answers
Monitor connection failures and restrict ingress. The current task instead requires this action: use telemetry and abuse alerting across API and SQL.
Block accidental production connection strings in repository review. The current task instead requires this action: use telemetry and abuse alerting across API and SQL.
Use consistent ordering and monitor costly filters. The current task instead requires this action: use telemetry and abuse alerting across API and SQL.
