Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 3

Which scenario is an example of a streaming workload?

Answer options

• A. sending transactions that are older than a month to an archive
• B. sending transactions daily from point of sale (POS) devices
• C. sending telemetry data from edge devices
• D. sending cloud infrastructure metadata every 30 minutes

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it involves continuously sending real-time telemetry data, which is characteristic of a streaming workload. Options A and B represent batch processing scenarios, where data is collected and sent at specific intervals rather than streamed continuously. Option D also involves periodic data transfer rather than real-time streaming.
