Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Practice Question
An organization needs to provide shared access to files across multiple virtual machines in Azure. The files need to be accessible using the SMB protocol and from both cloud-based and on-premises environments using standard file system APIs. Which Azure storage type is the most appropriate to use?
Azure File Storage supports the SMB protocol and allows multiple virtual machines to share the same files with both read and write access. It can be mounted concurrently by cloud-based or on-premises deployments of Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it ideal for scenarios that require shared file storage accessible via standard file system APIs.
Azure Blob Storage is optimized for storing unstructured data such as images and documents accessed over HTTP/HTTPS and does not support the SMB protocol.
Azure Disk Storage provides block-level storage volumes for use with Azure VMs but is not designed for sharing across multiple VMs.
Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL datastore used for storing structured, non-relational data and does not support file sharing or the SMB protocol.
