Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Store the API credential as a Key Vault secret.

A secret stores a retrievable sensitive API credential. A cryptographic key performs supported operations rather than serving as arbitrary password-value storage. A certificate object manages X.509 material, and Managed HSM supports keys rather than general secret objects. Source: AZ-305 Study Guide.pdf, PDF page(s) 16-17.
