AZ-305 · Question 29 · Domain 2.4: Non-Relational Data Storage

Your company generates 10 TB of application log data daily.

You need to design a solution to ingest, store, and analyze this data. The analytics team requires the ability to run highly complex, ad-hoc queries over billions of rows of time-series data with sub-second response times. They are proficient in Kusto Query Language (KQL).

Which TWO Azure services are best suited for this architecture? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

A.

Azure SQL Database

B.

Azure Data Explorer

C.

Azure Cosmos DB

D.

Azure Event Hubs

E.

Azure Cache for Redis

How to approach this question

Identify the ingestion service for massive data streams and the analytical engine that natively uses KQL.

Full Answer

Azure Data Explorer (ADX) is a highly scalable data exploration service specifically designed for log and telemetry data. It provides sub-second query performance over billions of records and natively uses Kusto Query Language (KQL). To handle the massive ingestion rate (10 TB daily), Azure Event Hubs should be used as the streaming ingestion buffer, which natively integrates with ADX.

Common mistakes

Selecting Synapse Analytics. While Synapse is for analytics, ADX is specifically optimized for time-series/log data and KQL.
