The correct answer is: A. Azure BlobFuse Azure BlobFuse allows you to access Azure Blob Storage from Linux and Azure services as if it were a local file system, without changing the application. This is particularly useful for your scenario where you can't modify the application and need to process images stored in Azure Blob Storage. BlobFuse provides the necessary interface between the application and Azure Blob Storage.

Azure BlobFuse, as Azure Disks are block storage devices that are not designed to be accessed directly by applications. Azure Storage NFS 3.0 support is still in preview and is not yet available for all accounts. Azure Files is a managed file share service that is not designed to be used with slow and unreliable internet connections.

I agree with the answer, but don't quite agree with the explanation Azure Disks - designed to work with Virtual Machines Azure Container Storage - not in the list of answer options https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-introduction Azure Files - like a regular disk in a computer, I think this option should work https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-introduction Network File System (NFS) 3.0 protocol support for Azure Blob Storage - also seems like a good option. The article doesn't say anything about the "preview" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/network-file-system-protocol-support Azure BlobFuse - this seems to be the correct answer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/blobfuse2-what-is

A. Azure BlobFuse: BlobFuse is a virtual file system driver for Azure Blob storage. It allows you to mount a Blob storage container as a file system on Linux. This would enable the console application to access the images stored in Azure Blob storage without requiring any changes to the application itself.

Azure BlobFuse is an open-source virtual file system driver for Azure Blob storage. It allows you to mount a Blob storage container as a file system on Linux. Advantages: Seamless Integration: Since BlobFuse allows you to mount Blob storage as a file system, your application can interact with the Blob storage as if it were a local file system. This means no changes are needed in your application code. Performance: BlobFuse is optimized for performance and can handle large files and high throughput. Compatibility: It works well with Linux-based systems and containerized applications. Network Efficiency: It can handle intermittent connectivity and optimize data transfer over limited bandwidth connections, which is beneficial for sites with phone-based internet connections.

not completly clear on what "access the images" really means,but seeing that the application in VM uses blob API, stands to reason that the console application will interact with blob storage, not files. given that the console application is uploading images, it reasonably means that uploads via blobfuse, as this is a virtual file system driver for azure blob storage
