Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals — Question 26

You have an application that runs on Windows and requires access to a mapped drive.
Which Azure service should you use?

Answer options

• A. Azure Files
• B. Azure Blob storage
• C. Azure Cosmos DB
• D. Azure Table storage

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Azure Files is the correct choice because it provides a fully managed file share that can be accessed through the SMB protocol, making it suitable for applications that require mapped drives. The other options, such as Azure Blob storage, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Table storage, are not designed for file sharing in the same way and do not support the SMB protocol, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
