Microsoft Azure Architect Design (2020, legacy) — Question 57

You plan to migrate App1 to Azure. The solution must meet the authentication and authorization requirements.
Which type of endpoint should App1 use to obtain an access token?

Answer options

• A. Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS)
• B. Azure AD
• C. Azure Service Management
• D. Microsoft identity platform

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) is specifically designed to provide access tokens and other metadata about the Azure environment. Options B, C, and D do not directly relate to obtaining access tokens in the same context as IMDS, making them unsuitable for this specific requirement.
