Exam AZ-305 topic 2 question 2 discussion

B & C are correct

A. an Azure Logic Apps integration account no, this is an integration service with visual flows with If-Then style logic. It does not support a way to import data from on-premise to blobstorage B. an Azure Import/Export job Agree, with other people here. C. Azure Data Factory Agree, is a way of importing data, but looking at 500GB it is a bit of overkill D. an Azure Analysis services On-premises data gateway not a data import option E. an Azure Batch account Is part of Azure Batch service and involve HPC job scheduling etc. but is not a way of importing or exporting data from on-premise to Azure Note: For 500GB we would probably use AzCopy instead. If it was a Typo and actually 500TB we would use Azure Data Box Heavy or maybe the Azure Import/Export Service if you provide your own drives.

ok, I will go with ADF, however I dont see question mentioning the connectivity between on-prem and Azure AD. I think ADF can only be used when on-prem is connected with Azure AD.

B. an Azure Import/Export job C. Azure Data Factory B. Azure Import/Export job: This service allows you to securely import or export large amounts of data to or from Azure Blob Storage by shipping hard disk drives to an Azure data center.
