Designing an Azure Data Solution (legacy) — Question 41
You are designing a statistical analysis solution that will use custom proprietary Python functions on near real-time data from Azure Event Hubs.
You need to recommend which Azure service to use to perform the statistical analysis. The solution must minimize latency.
What should you recommend?
Answer options
- A. Azure Synapse Analytics
- B. Azure Stream Analytics
- C. Azure Databricks
- D. Azure SQL Database
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Azure Stream Analytics is specifically designed for real-time data processing and analytics, making it the best choice for minimizing latency with near real-time data from Azure Event Hubs. Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure SQL Database are more suited for batch processing and complex queries, while Azure Databricks, although powerful, introduces more latency due to its batch-oriented processing model.
