Exam AZ-104 topic 3 question 1 discussion

Correct Answer: D Azure Import/Export service supports the following of storage accounts: ✑ Standard General Purpose v2 storage accounts (recommended for most scenarios) ✑ Blob Storage accounts ✑ General Purpose v1 storage accounts (both Classic or Azure Resource Manager deployments), Azure Import/Export service supports the following storage types: ✑ Import supports Azure Blob storage and Azure File storage ✑ Export supports Azure Blob storage. Azure Files not supported. Only storage4 can be exported. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-import-export-requirements

From the provided link. I assume since they table in the question notes "Storage" its being disregarded as an invalid option. Thus the answer blob appears to be correct. Standard General Purpose v2 storage accounts (recommended for most scenarios) Blob Storage accounts

❗ "The Azure Import/Export service supports only the Storage account kind 'Storage' (General-purpose v1) for export operations. It does not support BlobStorage accounts." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-requirements

Answer is still D today... Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-service#inside-an-export-job (read the note specific to export which is the question, import only supported in both blob and file; export supported only from blob)

Azure Import/Export service supports the following of storage accounts: ✑ Standard General Purpose v2 storage accounts (recommended for most scenarios) ✑ Blob Storage accounts ✑ General Purpose v1 storage accounts (both Classic or Azure Resource Manager deployments), Azure Import/Export service supports the following storage types: ✑ Import supports Azure Blob storage and Azure File storage ✑ Export supports Azure Blob storage. Azure Files not supported.

This does not apply anymore: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-service How does Import/Export work? Azure Import/Export service allows data transfer into Azure Blobs and Azure Files by creating jobs. Use Azure portal or Azure Resource Manager REST API to create jobs. Each job is associated with a single storage account.

Azure import export support Standard general Purpose V2 and Premium Block Blob. However it support only file and blob, so B is excluded for this reason

D is right

D is correct

Azure Import/Export service allows data transfer into Azure Blobs and Azure Files by creating jobs. The jobs can be import or export jobs. An import job allows you to import data into Azure Blobs or Azure files whereas the export job allows data to be exported from Azure Blobs.

Given answer is right. Notes below: Azure Import/Export Supports: Standard General Purpose v2 storage accounts, Blob Storage Accounts, General Purpose v1 accounts. Types Supported: Import – Blob, Files, Export – Blob. Archive tier is not supported for Export.

Just want clarification. I'm assuming that the answer can't be B because the Azure service contains data in file and table. Where as if it was only file without table then B would have been a good choice as well as D?

"Block blobs, Page blobs, and Append blobs supported" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/import-export/storage-import-export-requirements#supported-storage-types

Came in exams 27/7/2023. I selected D

I used free version access for this site and it helped me pass the exam. Some questions that I had on the exams, I took the exam more than once, are not available under the free tier access, but 80% of the questions came from here. I do recommend investing a bit of money and getting full access to this site. I didn't memorise answers but analysed them and studied as Microsoft does tweak them a bit. This Q was on the exam.

was on the exam on June 17 2023

When using the Azure Import/Export service to export data, the supported storage account types are as follows: Standard General Purpose v2 Storage Accounts: The Azure Import/Export service supports exporting data from storage accounts of the Standard General Purpose v2 kind. These storage accounts provide a combination of storage capabilities for blobs, files, queues, and tables. Blob Storage Accounts: Blob storage accounts, which are specialized storage accounts optimized for storing and serving large amounts of unstructured data, can also be used for exporting data using the Azure Import/Export service.
