You manage an application that stores data in a shared folder on a Windows server. You need to move the shared folder to Azure Storage. Which type of Azure Storage should you use?
Correct Answer: C
The application stores data in a shared folder on a Windows server. The equivalent in Azure Storage is Azure Files, which provides:
* Fully managed file shares in the cloud.
* Support for the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, so they can be mounted like traditional shared folders.
* Easy migration of on-premises file shares to Azure.
Other storage options:
* Table # NoSQL key-value store, not for file shares.
* Queue # For message storage and processing, not files.
* Blob # For unstructured object storage, but not mountable as a shared drive.
Therefore, Azure File Storage is correct.
