Q3 Redis Domain 2 · 25–30% of exam Priority · Real Exam

How should an application authenticate to Azure Managed Redis without an access key?

  1. A Store the key in Key Vault
  2. B Microsoft Entra ID authentication with a managed identity (correct answer)
  3. C Use the primary key over TLS

Shortcut: Azure Cache/Managed Redis supports Entra ID authentication. The client acquires a token with its managed identity and uses it in the AUTH exchange, removing static keys.
