DRAG DROP -
You need to design an architecture to capture the creation of users and the assignment of roles. The captured data must be stored in Azure Cosmos DB.
Which services should you include in the design? To answer, drag the appropriate services to the correct targets. Each service may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Azure Event Hubs -
You can route Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) activity logs to several endpoints for long term retention and data insights.
The Event Hub is used for streaming.

Box 2: Azure Function -
Use an Azure Function along with a cosmos DB change feed, and store the data in Cosmos DB.

Although may seem a bit surprising, seems correct: 1. Event Hub: You can export AD logs to an Azure Event Hub (even you can cherry picking which ones) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/tutorial-azure-monitor-stream-logs-to-event-hub 2. Azure Function: You easily create a serverless function to read events from the Event Hub and store them in a CosmosDB. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-event-hub-cosmos-db?tabs=bash

While Azure Event Hubs can be used to capture and process events, it is generally not the best choice for capturing events related to user creation and role assignment. This is because Azure Event Hubs is primarily designed for large-scale, real-time data streaming, and is not well-suited for capturing individual events or triggering downstream actions.

Azure Event Grid -> Azure Functions -> Cosmos DB. Azure event grid push the data Azure event hub pull the data these are the difference and key words

To design an architecture for capturing user creation and role assignment with data stored in Azure Cosmos DB, you can use the following services: 1. **Azure Event Grid**: This service can be used to route events such as user creation or role assignment to other services like Azure Functions. 2. **Azure Functions**: These serverless functions can be triggered by events from Azure Event Grid to process the data and interact with Azure Cosmos DB. 3. **Azure Cosmos DB**: This is your primary data store for capturing user and role information. Azure Event Hub is not necessary for this specific scenario, as it is typically used for big data streaming and event ingestion at scale, which is not required for capturing user creation and role assignment events.

WRONG. Artificial Intelligence answer: Azure Active Directory Log -> Azure Event Grid -> Azure Functions -> Cosmos DB. Azure Event Hubs is great for ingesting and processing large volumes of event data or telemetry, like data from IoT devices or application logs. However, in this scenario, you’re looking to capture and process specific events from Azure Active Directory logs and send them to Cosmos DB. Event Grid is more suitable because it’s designed for delivering discrete events, like user creation and role assignment, with low latency. Event Hubs would be overkill for this task and isn't as streamlined for the specific event-driven architecture needed here. So, Event Grid and Azure Functions are a more efficient choice. Make sense?

Given answer is correct. Azure Event Grid is better suited for event routing and notification scenarios, whereas Azure Event Hubs is designed for high-throughput data streaming and processing, which is more appropriate for capturing and handling large volumes of Azure AD events. Azure Functions: Purpose: Processes and transforms the captured events. Functionality: Subscribes to Event Hubs, processes the events, and writes the data to Azure Cosmos DB.

For people who says it's Azure Event Grid.. i mean, it doesn't really specify how many users is going to be created, so shouldn't we assume it's infinite? Azure Event Grid is primarily focused on discrete events, meaning individual state changes or notifications. While it can handle some volume, it's not designed for the continuous, high-throughput data streams common with user activity tracking. That's why I would go with: -Azure Event Hubs -Azure Functions.

Event Grid + Azure Function https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-grid/microsoft-entra-events Event Hub can also serve the purpose but it would be costly and heavy weight solution

I'd sadly agree with event hubs - the link often posted here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/monitoring-health/howto-stream-logs-to-event-hub?tabs=splunk If you follow the steps under Stream logs to an event hub: Browse to Identity > Monitoring & health > Diagnostic settings. You can also select Export Settings from either the Audit Logs or Sign-ins page. There are only 4 options as follows: * Send to Log Analytics workspace * Archive to a storage account * Stream to an event hub * Send to partner solution So, no grid I guess.

Event Grid makes more sense to me. Event Hub is a waste of money for this scenario. Remember, it's an architect-level exam.

If your primary goal is to capture user creation and role assignment events for the purpose of auditing, monitoring, or responding to these events in near real-time, Azure Event Grid is a more suitable choice. It's lightweight, easier to set up for event-driven scenarios, and integrates well with serverless Azure Functions for event handling. On the other hand, if you have massive data streams, complex event processing, or scenarios involving large-scale data analytics, Azure Event Hubs might be a better fit.

"If your primary goal is to capture user creation and role assignment events for the purpose of auditing, monitoring, or responding to these events in near real-time" - that is not the primary goal. The primary goal is to collect and store audit logs.

Capturing audit logs to a destination is done via Diagnostic settings in MS Entra ID. Multiple destinations can be selected, but event grid is not one of them. The destinations you can select are: log analytic workspace, storage acount, event hub and a partner solution.

https://azurelessons.com/azure-event-hub-vs-event-grid/ Azure Event Hub is responsible for the ingestion of data without sending data back to the publishers. Azure event grid is -> Responsible for notifying the events that occurred on the publisher’s end with the help of HTTP requests. So 1) Azure event hub 2) Azure Function

Correct Answer Should be Azure Event Grid and Azure Function, Event Grid: - Designed for reactive, event-driven architectures. - Handles discrete events, such as a file being created or a virtual machine being started. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/guide/technology-choices/messaging#azure-event-grid
