You have enabled a Snapshot policy on your Azure NetApp Files volume.
In this scenario, which statement is true?

Answer options

• B. Azure NetApp Files snapshots are extremely efficient and do not consume any additional space.
• C. Space consumed by Azure NetApp Files snapshots reduce the unallocated space in the capacity pool.
• D. Space consumed by Azure NetApp Files snapshots reduce the available space in the object store.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because snapshots utilize space in the object store, which reduces the available capacity there. Options A and C incorrectly describe the impact on volume space and capacity pools, while B is inaccurate as snapshots do consume some amount of storage.
