Data Engineering on Microsoft Azure — Question 114

You are developing a solution that will stream to Azure Stream Analytics. The solution will have both streaming data and reference data.

Which input type should you use for the reference data?

Answer options

• A. Azure Service Bus
• B. Azure Blob storage
• C. Azure IoT Hub
• D. Azure Event Hubs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is Azure Blob storage, as it is specifically designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data, making it ideal for reference data. The other options, such as Azure Service Bus, Azure IoT Hub, and Azure Event Hubs, are more suited for real-time event streaming rather than for storing reference data.
