A company runs a legacy on-premises application that requires a Windows file share using the SMB protocol. They want to migrate the share to Azure without modifying the application. Which Azure service should they use?

Azure Blob Storage with a private endpoint

A company has a mix of Windows and Linux servers that need to access a shared file storage. The Windows servers require SMB, and the Linux servers require NFS. The company wants to use a single Azure storage service to minimize management overhead. What should they do?

Use Azure Blob Storage with NFS 3.0 for Linux and SMB for Windows.

Create two separate Azure Files shares: one with SMB and one with NFS.

Use a single Azure Files share with SMB and enable NFS on the same share.

Use Azure Table Storage for both Windows and Linux servers.

What is the primary benefit of using a well-designed partition key in Azure Table Storage?

It allows you to store unlimited data in a single table

It ensures data is encrypted at rest

It improves query performance and scalability

It eliminates the need for secondary indexes

A gaming company uses Azure Table Storage to store player session data. They expect a sudden spike in write operations during a new game launch. They want to ensure the storage service can handle the increased load without manual intervention. What should they do?

Use Azure Files instead of Table Storage for session data.

Design the partition key to distribute entities across many partitions.

Enable read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) for the table.

Pre-partition the table into multiple tables to distribute load.
