Exam AZ-801 topic 5 question 22 discussion

Should be A, Boot diagnostics doesn't support premium storage accounts or zone redundant storage accounts. If either of these are used for boot diagnostics users will receive an StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error when starting the VM.

Standard type is required. Can either be Standard LRS or Standard ZRS. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/boot-diagnostics#boot-diagnostics-storage-account

The Boot diagnostics feature does not support premium storage account or Zone Redundant Storage Account Types. If you use the premium storage account for Boot diagnostics, you might receive the StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error when you start the VM.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/windows/boot-diagnostics Note The Boot diagnostics feature does not support premium storage account or Zone Redundant Storage Account Types. If you use the premium storage account for Boot diagnostics, you might receive the StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error when you start the VM. So, A - storage1

Answer: A (storage1) Account kind : StorageV2 (general purpose v2) Replication : Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) Tested in lab. Failed to add a Standard StorageV2, Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)

A. Storage1 The Boot diagnostics feature does not support premium storage account or Zone Redundant Storage Account Types. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/windows/boot-diagnostics

Correct answer is A Boot diagnostics doesn't support premium storage accounts or zone redundant storage

A that's correct. Boot diagnostics does not support premium storage accounts or zone-redundant storage accounts. You should use a standard storage account that is either a General-purpose v1 (GPv1) or General-purpose v2 (GPv2) for boot diagnostics. Here is the summary of the types of storage accounts you should use: Standard General-purpose v2 (GPv2): Recommended for most scenarios, including boot diagnostics. Standard General-purpose v1 (GPv1): Also supports boot diagnostics, but it is less common to use compared to GPv2. Premium and zone-redundant storage accounts are not supported for boot diagnostics. Therefore, make sure to choose a standard storage account.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/boot-diagnostics#limitations Boot diagnostics doesn't support premium storage accounts or zone redundant storage accounts.

Multiple MS documents have the following Statements: "" Important Boot diagnostics doesn't support premium storage accounts or zone-redundant storage accounts. When either premium or zone-redundant storage accounts are used for boot diagnostics, users receive a StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error upon starting their virtual machine (VM)."" Therefore A (Storage1) is the only possible option left.

Boot diagnostics doesn't support premium storage accounts or zone redundant storage accounts. If either of these are used for boot diagnostics users receive an StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error when starting the VM. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/boot-diagnostics

Should be A, The Azure Startup Diagnostics feature requires a standard storage account. Premium storage accounts (such as storage3 and storage4) are not supported. In addition, zone redundancy (as in storage2) is also not supported for boot diagnostics. Therefore, storage1, which is a standard storage account with geo-redundant storage (GRS), is the most suitable option for storing the boot diagnostic logs and snapshots.

Based on this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/boot-diagnostics he Boot diagnostics feature does not support premium storage account or Zone Redundant Storage Account Types. If you use the premium storage account for Boot diagnostics, you might receive the StorageAccountTypeNotSupported error when you start the VM. Even documented in GitHub: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/63225 It has to be A!

Has to be B as per link provided. I also wouldn't want to use GEO replication storage for logs.

A is correct: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/boot-diagnostics#boot-diagnostics-storage-account:~:text=Boot%20diagnostics%20doesn%27t%20support%20premium%20storage%20accounts%20or%20zone%20redundant%20storage%20accounts.%20If%20either%20of%20these%20are%20used%20for%20boot%20diagnostics%20users%20receive%20an%20StorageAccountTypeNotSupported%20error%20when%20starting%20the%20VM.

I don't need to explain again jecawi9630 already provided the supporting link.
