Note: This question is part of series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
Your company has an on-premises data center and an Azure subscription. The on-premises data center contains a Hardware Security Module (HSM).
Your network contains an Active Directory domain that is synchronized to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.
The company is developing an application named Application1. Application1 will be hosted in Azure by using 10 virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016. Five virtual machines will be in the West Europe Azure region and five virtual machines will be in the East US Azure region. The virtual machines will store sensitive company information. All the virtual machines will use managed disks.
You need to recommend a solution to encrypt the virtual machine disks by using BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker).
Solution: Export a security key from the on-premises HSM. Create one Azure AD service principal. Configure the virtual machines to use Azure Storage Service Encryption.
Does this meet the goal?
Your company has 20 web APIs that were developed in-house.
The company is developing 10 web apps that will use the web APIs. The web apps and the APIs are registered in the company's Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. The web APIs are published by using Azure API Management.
