  1. Which Azure service enables bidirectional file sync between on-premises Windows Server file shares and Azure Files?

    Answer: Azure File Sync

    Azure File Sync keeps on-premises Windows Server shares in sync with Azure Files, enabling cloud tiering to free up local storage.

  2. What is 'cloud tiering' in the context of Azure File Sync?

    Answer: Automatically moving less-accessed files to Azure while keeping a local pointer (stub)

    Cloud tiering offloads infrequently accessed files from local disk to Azure Files, replacing them with stubs to free up on-premises storage while maintaining namespace.

  3. Which Azure Storage feature enables storing multiple versions of a blob, protecting against accidental overwrites?

    Answer: Blob Versioning

    Blob Versioning automatically preserves previous versions of a blob whenever it is overwritten, allowing restoration to any earlier version.

  4. What is the purpose of Azure Storage 'Object Replication' for blobs?

    Answer: Asynchronously replicates blobs between source and destination storage accounts for compliance or latency reduction

    Object Replication asynchronously copies block blobs between storage accounts, useful for data distribution, latency optimization, or backup.

  5. Which Azure Storage performance tier provides sub-millisecond latency for high-transaction workloads using SSD-backed storage?

    Answer: Premium performance tier

    The Premium performance tier uses SSD-based storage to deliver consistent sub-millisecond latency, ideal for high-IOPS applications like databases.

  6. What does enabling 'secure transfer required' on an Azure Storage account enforce?

    Answer: All connections to the storage account must use HTTPS or SMB with encryption

    The 'secure transfer required' setting rejects any connections that use unencrypted HTTP or SMB without encryption, ensuring all data in transit is protected.
