Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have an Azure AI Search service. During the past 12 months, query volume steadily increased. You discover that some search query requests to the Azure AI Search service are being throttled. You need to reduce the likelihood that search query requests are throttled. Solution: You enable customer-managed key (CMK) encryption. Does this meet the goal?

Explanation

Customer-managed key (CMK) encryption does not affect throttling. Instead, you could migrate to a Azure AI Search service that uses a higher tier. Note: A simple fix to most throttling issues is to throw more resources at the search service (typically replicas for query-based throttling, or partitions for indexing-based throttling). However, increasing replicas or partitions adds cost, which is why it is important to know the reason why throttling is occurring at all. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-performance-analysis
