AI-102 Question 355
Select 3You are designing an Azure AI solution to process data from multiple sources, including Azure Blob Storage and Azure SQL Database. You need to configure data sources for an Azure Cognitive Search service to enable indexing and searching of the data. Which of the following steps are required to create and configure the data sources?
- A
Define the connection string for the data source in Azure Cognitive Search.
- B
Set up a data source schema in the Azure Cognitive Search portal.
- C
Configure an index in Azure Cognitive Search linked to the data source.
- D
Enable managed identity for Azure Cognitive Search to access secure data sources.
- E
Schedule periodic data indexing to keep the search index updated.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To create and configure data sources in Azure Cognitive Search, you need to define a connection string to connect to external data sources, set up an index to store and query the data, and configure periodic indexing to keep the search index updated. Enabling managed identity can help with secure access but is not a mandatory step for every data source. Defining schemas is part of the index configuration, not the data source configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A connection string is required to establish a link between Azure Cognitive Search and the external data source, such as Azure Blob Storage or Azure SQL Database.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The schema is defined within the index, not as part of the data source configuration. Data sources in Azure Cognitive Search do not require schema setup.
- C. Correct.
Correct: An index is required to store and query the data from the data source. The index is configured to work with the data source.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While enabling managed identity can be useful for secure access, it is not a mandatory step for creating a data source in Azure Cognitive Search.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Scheduling periodic data indexing is an important step to ensure the search index remains up-to-date with changes in the data source.
