Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
Your company plans to lift-and-shift an on-premises file server to Azure. The migrated store must remain accessible from multiple Windows and Linux clients by using their native SMB or NFS capabilities so that users can map network drives without rewriting applications. Which Azure storage service should you deploy?
Azure File storage provides fully managed file shares that can be mounted concurrently from Windows, Linux, and macOS clients by using the industry-standard SMB protocol, and it also offers NFS 4.1 shares. This lets users map the share as a network drive with no application changes. Azure Blob storage now supports NFS 3.0 on Premium block-blob accounts, but it lacks native SMB support and is intended for object storage rather than traditional file-share scenarios. Azure Table and Azure Queue storage are accessed through REST APIs and cannot be mounted via SMB or NFS. Therefore, Azure File storage is the correct choice for a cross-platform lift-and-shift file-server replacement.
