You need to recommend solution for importing data to Azure. The solution must minimize cost.
What Azure service should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Azure StorSimple
• B. Azure Stack
• C. Azure Data Box
• D. Azure Batch

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Azure Data Box, as it is specifically designed for large-scale data transfers to Azure in a cost-effective manner. Azure StorSimple and Azure Stack are not primarily focused on data import, while Azure Batch is intended for executing large-scale parallel and high-performance computing workloads, not for data transfer.
