Question 360
An Azure Container Instance uses the storage ACCOUNT KEY to read one blob, granting access well beyond its task. Which credential replacement reduces the storage blast radius?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Use the supported container workload managed identity plus narrowly scoped Blob data role where feasible, or a short-lived limited SAS/protected credential where identity is not supported; revoke the account key exposure.
Incorrect Answers
Container Apps revisions are a different service mechanism and do not address an Azure Container Instance’s storage credential.
Ingress access restrictions protect inbound traffic but cannot narrow a stolen shared storage account key’s data-plane authority.
ACR image-pull rights govern the registry, not runtime authorization to a storage account; the high-privilege account key still permits broad storage operations.
