Which object can you use?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
To store objects for both authentication and encryption while enforcing an automatic 30-day regeneration cycle, you should use Azure Key Vault keys.
Azure Key Vault provides native key auto-rotation policies that can be configured to automatically generate a new version of a cryptographic key at a specified frequency (such as every 30 days) without needing an external helper service.
Scenario: Store objects used for authentication and encryption in Vault1 and ensure that Vault1 regenerates the objects every 30 days, whenever possible.
Vault1 is an Azure Key Vault.
