Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 Practice Question
Your company wants to move users' home directories from an on-premises Windows file server to Azure. Employees on Windows, macOS, and Linux must continue accessing the shares through the standard SMB protocol without changing their applications. Which Azure storage service best meets this requirement?
Azure File storage provides fully managed network file shares in the cloud that are accessible over the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, allowing users on Windows, macOS, and Linux to map drives or mount shares just as they would with an on-premises file server. Azure Blob storage is optimized for object storage and is accessed through REST APIs rather than SMB, so it is unsuitable for traditional file shares. Azure Table storage stores NoSQL key-value data and does not expose an SMB interface. Azure Disk Storage supplies block-level disks for Azure virtual machines and also lacks SMB file-sharing capabilities. Therefore, Azure File storage is the correct choice.
