You plan to deploy a container to an Azure App Service API app named api1. You host the source code for api1 in a GitHub repository. The container uses the API key at runtime to connect to a backend service.
The container must be able to retrieve the API key at runtime without exposing it in the source repository or Git commit history.
You need to ensure that the API key remains outside of Git commit history and is available to the container at runtime.
Solution: Store the API key as a GitHub repository secret.
Does the solution meet the goal?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Correct:
* Store the API key in Azure Key Vault and reference it from an App Service application setting.
Storing the API key in Azure Key Vault and referencing it via App Service application settings is the recommended, secure approach. This strategy completely removes sensitive credentials from your GitHub repository and Git commit history while injecting them safely into your container environment at runtime.
Incorrect:
* Embed the API key as a hardcoded environment variable in the Dockerfile.
* Store the API key as a GitHub repository secret.
