AI-300 Practice Question 46: Deployment Option Capability Matrix

Microsoft Machine Learning Operations Engineer Associate (AI-300) · Test 5 · question 6 of 10

Design and implement a GenAIOps infrastructuremedium

A platform team must deploy a model from the Foundry catalog for a production application. The requirements are: authentication with Microsoft Entra ID instead of API keys, a customized content filter configuration tuned for the application, and processing that stays inside a data zone. The model is offered through more than one deployment option. Which option meets all three requirements?

Show answer and explanation

Answer:

C. A serverless API deployment that uses a Data Zone Standard deployment type

Microsoft's comparison shows that serverless API deployments offer *"regional, data zone, global"* processing, *"built-in and customizable"* content filtering and keyless authentication (Microsoft Entra ID and key-based). The deployment types include *Data Zone Standard*, so the team can choose where data is processed (option C).

- A is wrong because managed compute supports Microsoft Entra ID authentication, but its data processing option is global only and *content filtering is "not available in public preview"*. - B is wrong because instant access lets you try supported models without creating a deployment. It is not a deployment option in the comparison and gives no per-application filter or data zone configuration. - D is wrong because a gateway does not give managed compute data zone processing, which is global only, and it replaces a built-in capability with a component that the team must operate.
