Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 5

You need to gather real-time telemetry data from a mobile application.
Which type of workload describes this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)
• B. batch
• C. massively parallel processing (MPP)
• D. streaming

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, streaming, as it involves processing data in real-time, which is essential for telemetry data. Options A (OLTP) and C (MPP) focus on transactional and large-scale processing respectively, and B (batch) refers to processing accumulated data at once, which does not meet the real-time requirement.
