You have an Azure subscription that contains the storage accounts shown in the following table.
You deploy a web app named App1 to the West US Azure region.
You need to back up App1. The solution must minimize costs.
Which storage account should you use as the target for the backup?
To minimize costs when backing up App1, which is located in the West US region, it is best to use a storage account in the same region to avoid additional data transfer costs. Storage2 is a BlobStorage account located in West US, making it a suitable option for storing backups. BlobStorage is generally a cost-effective choice for storing large amounts of unstructured data, which aligns with the need to back up a web application.
To minimize costs, you should use the storage account that is in the same region as the web app that you are backing up. In this case, the web app is in the West US region, so you should use storage2
This is confusing as F*ck. The ETE states Storage 4 and everyone and their mothers are saying A to B. How are we supposed to know which one is correct if there is 3 possible answers to the question?
Agree! Microsoft needs to review their exam questions and answers!!
Sharing ChatGPT's answer with you guys. To minimize the cost of the backup solution, you should choose the storage account that is located in the same region as the web app. In this case, the web app is located in the West US region, so the best option for the backup target would be storage2 or storage3, which are also located in West US. However, since storage2 is a BlobStorage account type and storage3 is a BlockBlobStorage account type, you should consider the specific requirements of your backup solution. If your backup needs to store only block blobs, then storage3 would be the more appropriate choice. On the other hand, if your backup requires different types of blobs (page blobs, append blobs, and block blobs), then storage2 might be a better fit. Therefore, the best option for the backup target would be either storage2 or storage3, depending on the specific requirements of your backup solution.
freaking awesome lol
Was in test yesterday, got it right!!
What was your answer A or B
how do you know your choice was correct? - did you achieve 1000?
yeah right, of course you got it right
OpenAI "Since you need to back up a web app named App1 deployed to the West US Azure region and you want to minimize costs, you should choose a storage account in the same region as the web app. Out of the available options, only storage2 and storage3 are located in the West US region. Among these two, Blob Storage (storage2) is the most cost-effective option for storing backups. Therefore, the correct answer is B. storage2."
Given the considerations above, if the primary goal is to minimize costs, utilizing a storage account in the same region as the app (West US) would be beneficial to reduce data transfer costs. Hence, storage2 (blob storage) or storage3 (block blob storage) would be more suitable options. Furthermore, if App1's backup data is unstructured text or binary data, storage3 (block blob storage) might be the most cost-effective choice given its specialization in handling such data types and its location in the West US region, the same as App1. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview
That is all well and good, but we do not know what data type is in the storage accounts so we cannot know if B or C is the right answer. How did you come to your conclusion that B is correct?
I thought this question is from case study.. not complete data we have here. so based on complete data Storage 2 (B) is correct answer
Go with B. The pricing calculator shows little to no differenence between Blob Storage and General Purpose v2... https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/
Blobstorage is cheaper than the filestorage and StorageV2 Blobstorage location is West US, this is same location than the App1 Answer is: B
On the exam on 17.07.2024, Selected Answer: B; but I'm not sure
storage 2 should be appropriate aside from its location. You can configure the blob type afterwards, hence the general answer should be BlobStorage since we cannot specify the data structure of the backup that will be made.
I think Answer is B
B is correct
Bee seems correct
I'll go with B. To minimize the cost, has to be in the same region.
B and C are both in the same reagion. Why B and not C?
As far as I can find B should be correct; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74792420/are-the-azure-app-service-backups-stored-in-both-paired-regions Needs to be in same subscription which it is and backups should be stored close to the app location however can be stored anywhere.
I know - we have the storage cost vs access cost dilemma. GPv2 gives lowest storage cost. Here we use the storage account for backup of webapp, not to serve assets to a CDN site, so i don't think we need to worry about minimizing the access cost. Only need to focus on minimizing storage cost.
This has better explanation regarding region agnostic storage for app custom backups (only automatic backups are stored in same region by default) . https://stackoverflow.com/a/74794083 this is on top of the fact that General-purpose v2 storage has lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices.
