A blood-bank App Service site stores DbPassword in a text file on the worker and CatalogEndpoint in source code. How should the developer store that configuration instead?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
App settings and connection strings are the site’s labeled mail slots—drop in new values and the process picks them up as environment variables. No rebuild, no secret text file on the worker, no endpoints glued into source. Rotate config without shipping new bits.
Full Explanation
Azure App Service application settings and connection strings are the supported configuration surface for web apps; values are injected into the process as environment variables and can differ per slot. Storing passwords on the worker filesystem or embedding endpoints in source forces rebuilds and weakens secret hygiene. Key Vault references can back settings when needed, but the core developer action is moving configuration into App Service settings rather than files or source.
