You can use a Key Vault in a different resource group and region to provide secrets to your web application in a different resource group and region. Azure allows cross-resource group and cross-region access to Key Vaults, as long as you have the necessary access policies configured. And the answers: Create a: Managed Identity Use the secret from: Vault1, Vault2, or Vault3

those test are NEVER about best practices (except if explicitly stated). it's always about what you CAN do. keep that in mind or you will fail your exam

my vault is in westus and my web application is in canadacentral, can my application use the key vault in westus to retrieve secret Copilot said: A web application in Canadacentral can use an Azure Key Vault in West US to retrieve secrets. Azure Key Vault is designed to be accessible from any region, allowing applications to securely retrieve secrets regardless of their geographic location.

Box 1: Correct, Managed Identity. Box 2: The best for microsoft recommendations is vault1, vault3. Unfortunately the question is confusing, but I will opt for what Microsoft recommends. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/general/best-practices

for box 2, i'll vote for vault 1, 2 and 3. though not best practice, i believe key vault can be access on resource group and region pair as long as configured properly.

regarding the key vault aspect(2nd answer) , What do they mean here? what are the possibilities/options or which one is thew best option. we need to know instead of assuming ,in order for us to respond properly. 1st box: Managed Identity By creating a managed identity for app1, you can assign the necessary permissions to access the secrets in each key vault. The managed identity can be given access to multiple key vaults, regardless of their location or resource group. 2nd box: Confusing. we need to know what they mean here (either the best option , or all the possibilites/options)

agreed, the question doesn't specify so I think all 3 vaults are possible.

Azure Key Vault allows secrets to be accessed from different regions and resource groups, provided that the necessary permissions are set up correctly. This means that app1 can access secrets from Vault1, Vault2, and Vault3, as long as it has the required access permissions to those key vaults. Best Option: Vault1 — due to the same region and resource group, offering the best balance of performance and management simplicity. Second Best: Vault3 — good for low latency but might need more attention for permissions and management due to being in a different resource group. Third Option: Vault2 — feasible but not optimal due to being in a different region, which could lead to latency and additional costs.

Managed Identity Vault1, Vault2, or Vault3. Vault3 is in a different region and therefore latency and costs is increased. However, it can be used without deploying an additional resources.

Managed Identity and Vault1. Managed Identity is often preferred for Azure resources like apps because it simplifies authentication and eliminates the need to manage credentials. It provides a secure way for the application to authenticate to Azure services. Vault 1: app1 is located in the same resource group (RG1) and region (East US) as Vault1, so it should use the secret from Vault1 for best performance and accessibility.

Managed id is right https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-apps/manage-secrets?tabs=azure-portal#reference-secret-from-key-vault But I think it should be vault 1, 2 and 3. I cannot find anything about restrictions on resource group, or region. Another region can give some latency.
