Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure Administrator for Contoso Ltd. The company uses an Azure Storage account named 'contosodata' in the 'East US' region to store critical data. To enhance data redundancy, you plan to replicate blobs from 'contosodata' to another storage account named 'contosobackup' in the 'West US' region using object replication.
When attempting to set up object replication between the two storage accounts, you encounter an error stating that replication cannot be established.
Upon investigation, you confirm that:
- Both storage accounts exist and are accessible.
- Both accounts are General-purpose v2 (GPv2) accounts.
- Both accounts are in different regions but within the same subscription.
What is the most likely reason for the failure, and how should you resolve it?
One or both storage accounts are using customer-managed keys for encryption. Configure both accounts to use Microsoft-managed keys.
The storage accounts are in different resource groups. Move both accounts to the same resource group.
Object replication requires storage accounts to be in the same region. Use storage accounts located in the same region.
Public access is disabled on the storage accounts. Enable public blob access on both accounts.
