Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals — Question 136

What should you use to associate the same identity to more than one Azure virtual machine?

Answer options

• A. an Azure AD user account
• B. a user-assigned managed identity
• C. a system-assigned managed identity
• D. an Azure AD security group

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A user-assigned managed identity is designed to be used by multiple Azure resources, allowing the same identity to be associated with several virtual machines. In contrast, a system-assigned managed identity is tied to a single resource, and an Azure AD user account and security group do not serve the purpose of being directly linked to Azure virtual machines for identity management.
