AI-102 Question 358
Select 2You are building an AI solution in Azure that processes unstructured data stored in multiple locations. Your solution must utilize Azure Cognitive Search to index and search this data. Which of the following steps are required to create and configure a data source for Azure Cognitive Search?
- A
Define the connection details for the data source, including the name, type, and credentials.
- B
Enable the data source to automatically push updates to the Azure Cognitive Search index.
- C
Select the appropriate Azure Cognitive Search pricing tier before creating the data source.
- D
Specify a query or filter to control which data is ingested from the data source.
- E
Configure the data source to store the indexed documents in a separate Azure Blob Storage container.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
When creating a data source for Azure Cognitive Search, you need to define the connection details and optionally specify a query or filter to control the data ingestion. These steps ensure that the data source is properly configured to provide data for indexing. Other options, such as automatic updates, pricing tier selection, and external storage configuration, are either unrelated or not supported in this context.
- A. Correct.
Defining the connection details, such as the name, type (e.g., Azure Blob Storage, SQL Database), and authentication credentials, is a prerequisite for creating a data source in Azure Cognitive Search.
- B. Incorrect.
Azure Cognitive Search does not support the data source automatically pushing updates to the index. Instead, indexing is initiated via indexers or manual triggers.
- C. Incorrect.
Selecting a pricing tier is required for Azure Cognitive Search but is unrelated to the creation of a data source. The pricing tier affects index capabilities, not the data source configuration.
- D. Correct.
Specifying a query or filter allows you to control which subset of data is ingested from the data source into the index, which is an important step during data source configuration.
- E. Incorrect.
Indexed documents are stored in the Azure Cognitive Search index, not in a separate Azure Blob Storage container. The data source provides the raw data, which is processed and indexed by Cognitive Search.
