Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam. Overview -The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e. g. , copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design. Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab.

You plan to move backup files and documents from an on-premises Windows file server to Azure Storage. The backup files will be stored as blobs. You need to create a storage account named corpdata7523690n2. The solution must meet the following requirements:Ensure that the documents are accessible via drive mappings from Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016Provide the highest possible redundancy for the documentsMinimize storage access costs -What should you do from the Azure portal?

See solution below.
Step 1: In the Azure portal, click All services. In the list of resources, type Storage Accounts. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. SelectStorage Accounts. Step 2: On the Storage Accounts window that appears, choose Add. Step 3: Select the subscription in which to create the storage account. Step 4: Under the Resource group field, select Create New. Create a new ResourceStep 5: Enter a name for your storage account: corpdata7523690n2Step 6: For Account kind select: General-purpose v2 accounts (recommended for most scenarios)General-purpose v2 accounts is recommended for most scenarios. General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for AzureStorage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices. Step 7: For replication select: Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) maximizes availability for your storage account. RA-GRS provides read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to geo-replication across two regions.

Koba · Answer

File Share config is needed due to "Ensure that the documents are accessible via drive mappings from Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server 2016"

MichaelCWWong · Answer

RA-ZGRS should be chosen for replication option as one of the question requirement is to provide the highest possible redundancy for the documents

poplovic · Answer

Azure Files does not support read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS).
REF: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-redundancy?toc=/azure/storage/blobs/toc.json#read-access-to-data-in-the-secondary-region

So correct answer is V2, Azure File, GZRS

vasudev82 · Answer

Azure File Shares supports LRS, GRS ZRS and GZRS. I would recommend an Azure File Share to be created, as a drive mapping is required, and then use RA-GZRS.

sohailcharolia · Answer

Note
Azure Files does not support read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) and read-access geo-zone-redundant storage (RA-GZRS).

mindtrax · Answer

Standard file shares offer locally-redundant (LRS), zone redundant (ZRS), geo-redundant (GRS), or geo-zone-redundant (GZRS) storage, however the large file share feature is only supported on locally redundant and zone redundant file shares. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-create-file-share?tabs=azure-portal

sqlbuddy123 · Answer

This requires 1. Blob storage for backup files 2. File share for documents.
But the On focuses on SMB drive mapping .. So Answer is 1. Store account with ZRS 2. Create File Share  3. Hot tier

Veeru · Answer

Normal file share support GZRS, so this should be the answer as it down not support RA-GRS

oshoparsi · Answer

" The backup files will be stored as blobs." so file share in the blob storage.

AustinY · Answer

What are your redundancy requirements for your Azure file share?
Standard file shares offer locally-redundant (LRS), zone redundant (ZRS), geo-redundant (GRS), or geo-zone-redundant (GZRS) storage, however the large file share feature is only supported on locally redundant and zone redundant file shares. Premium file shares do not support any form of geo-redundancy.  In local and zone redundant storage accounts, Azure file shares can span up to 100 TiB, however in geo- and geo-zone redundant storage accounts, Azure file shares can span only up to 5 TiB.

Stephan99 · Answer

for backup files I would select cold access tier

arunpaul · Answer

files cant be stored as blobs and drive mapped as file shares at the same time..something wrong with the question

msmannan · Answer

Answer is correct. Requirement is to create storage account which should support file shares to map as network drive on windows machines and provide highest redundancy.
Storage account configured with RA-GRS meets these requirements.
There is nowhere mentioned use large files so its out of question.

demonite · Answer

GRS files is the cheapest out of GRS, GZRS and RA-GRS, blob can be cold storage for backups

DNeo · Answer

select ZRS because https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-redundancy

tallurhi · Answer

note; files need to be access from VM via shared drive and backup files as blobs. So no need to large shares, so blob and file share with GZRS

altafpatel1984 · Answer

Basically question is wrong. Ideally 2 storage accounts should be created. one for backup files with cool tier and another documents with hot tier.
