Question 600
A publicly exposed DAB instance floods SQL with unauthenticated expensive read requests. What observed evidence would BEST confirm successful remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Load tests enforce limits and approved users retain service. This is the decisive observable evidence after implementing harden ingress, authentication, rate limiting and query bounds before production exposure. It tests the underlying requirement: Autoscaling the API does not eliminate downstream database exhaustion or unauthorized access.
Incorrect Answers
Container-based smoke tests connect securely to the intended Azure SQL database. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: load tests enforce limits and approved users retain service.
An authorized request runs the report and rejects unauthorized procedure calls. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: load tests enforce limits and approved users retain service.
A staging start resolves each declared source without runtime errors. However, that result would not establish the required outcome: load tests enforce limits and approved users retain service.
