Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator tasked with deploying a storage solution for a new application. The application requires high-performance file shares accessible via the NFS protocol. The data stored is sensitive financial information. Which storage account configuration should you choose to meet these requirements?
Create a general-purpose v2 storage account with standard performance tier
Create a FileStorage storage account with premium performance tier
Create a general-purpose v2 storage account with premium performance tier
Create a Blob storage account with premium performance tier
To meet the requirements, you should create a FileStorage storage account with the premium performance tier. FileStorage accounts are specifically designed for high-performance Azure Files workloads and support both SMB (Server Message Block) and NFS (Network File System) protocols. The premium tier provides the necessary low latency and high throughput for performance-intensive applications. Additionally, data in Azure Storage is encrypted at rest by default, ensuring the security of sensitive information. General-purpose v2 storage accounts with standard performance do not offer the required performance levels. Blob storage accounts are intended for object storage and do not support file shares. General-purpose v2 storage accounts with premium performance tier do not support premium file shares with NFS; this capability is exclusive to FileStorage accounts.
