Introduction
This blog is designed to help you prepare for your Azure 104 certification exam by providing detailed explanations for a set of practice questions. Each question is accompanied by the correct answer and an explanation to help you understand the concepts and why the answer is correct.
Question 1 of 50
Your need to create an Azure Storage account that meets the following requirements:
Stores data in a minimum of two availability zones
Provides high availability
Which type of storage redundancy should you use?
Select only one answer.
geo-redundant storage (GRS)
locally-redundant storage (LRS)
read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)
zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
Correct Answer: zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
Explanation: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) replicates your data across multiple availability zones within a region, providing high availability and durability.
Question 2 of 50
You have two premium block blob Azure Storage accounts named storage1 and storage2.
You need to configure object replication from storage1 to storage2.
Which three features should be enabled before configuring object replication? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Select all answers that apply.
blob versioning for storage1
blob versioning for storage2
change feed for storage1
change feed for storage2
point-in-time restore for the containers on storage1
point-in-time restore for the containers on storage2
Correct Answers:
blob versioning for storage1
blob versioning for storage2
change feed for storage1
Explanation: Blob versioning and change feed must be enabled on both source and destination storage accounts to support object replication.
Question 3 of 50
You have an Azure Storage account named storageaccount1 with a blob container named container1 that stores confidential information.
You need to ensure that content in container1 is not modified or deleted for six months after the last modification date.
What should you configure?
Select only one answer.
a custom Azure role
lifecycle management
the change feed
the immutability policy
Correct Answer: the immutability policy
Explanation: An immutability policy ensures that the data remains unaltered and undeleted for a specified period, complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
Question 4 of 50
You have an Azure subscription that contains multiple storage accounts.
A storage account named storage1 has a file share that stores marketing videos. Users reported that 99 percent of the assigned storage is used.
You need to ensure that the file share can support large files and store up to 100 TiB.
Which two PowerShell commands should you run? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Select all answers that apply.
New-AzRmStorageShare -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name -StorageAccountName storage1 -Name share1 -QuotaGiB 100GB
Set-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name storage1 -EnableLargeFileShare
Set-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name storage1 -Type "Standard_RAGRS"
Update-AzRmStorageShare -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name -StorageAccountName storage1 -Name share1 -QuotaGiB 102400
Correct Answers:
Set-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name storage1 -EnableLargeFileShare
Update-AzRmStorageShare -ResourceGroupName RG1 -Name -StorageAccountName storage1 -Name share1 -QuotaGiB 102400
Explanation: Enabling large file shares and updating the quota to support up to 100 TiB are necessary steps to accommodate the increased storage requirements.
Question 5 of 50
You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named storage1.
You need to provide storage1 with access to a partner organization. Access to storage1 must expire after 24 hours.
What should you configure?
Select only one answer.
a shared access signature (SAS)
an access key
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)
lifecycle management
Correct Answer: a shared access signature (SAS)
Explanation: A Shared Access Signature (SAS) provides secure delegated access to resources in your storage account without sharing your account key, and you can set an expiration time.
Question 6 of 50
You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named storage1 and a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com.
You plan to provide identity-based access to storage1.
Which storage1 data service can be configured to use identity-based access?
Select only one answer.
containers
file shares
queues
tables
Correct Answer: file shares
Explanation: Azure File shares support identity-based access using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) integration.
Question 7 of 50
You have an Azure subscription that contains a storage account named storage1.
You need to ensure that public network access is disabled from all networks, including the internet.
What should you configure on storage1?
Select only one answer.
Access keys
Data protection
Encryption
Networking
Correct Answer: Networking
Explanation: Configuring the networking settings of a storage account allows you to disable public network access, thereby restricting access to the storage account to specific private networks.
Question 8 of 50
You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to create a storage account named storage1 to store images.
You need to replicate the images to a new storage account.
What are three requirements of storage1? Each correct answer presents part of a complete solution.
Select all answers that apply.
a container
a file share
blob versioning
queues
standard general-purpose v2
Correct Answers:
a container
blob versioning
standard general-purpose v2
Explanation: A container is needed to store the images, blob versioning is required to track changes and maintain copies, and standard general-purpose v2 storage accounts support these features.
Question 9 of 50
You have an Azure Storage account named storage1.
You plan to store long-term backups in storage1. The solution must minimize costs.
Which storage tier should you use for the backups?
Select only one answer.
Archive
Cold
Cool
Hot
Correct Answer: Archive
Explanation: The Archive storage tier is the most cost-effective option for storing data that is rarely accessed and can tolerate several hours of retrieval latency.
Question 10 of 50
A company is using Azure Blob Storage to store large amounts of unstructured data that is accessed infrequently but requires fast retrieval when needed.
You need to minimize storage costs while ensuring data retrieval performance is not compromised.
Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Select three.
Select only one answer.
Upgrade to a general-purpose v2 storage account.
Configure the access tier of the Azure Blob Storage account to Hot.
Enable Azure Storage account object replication.
Configure the access tier of the Azure Blob Storage account to Cool.
Correct Answer:
Upgrade to a general-purpose v2 storage account.
Configure the access tier of the Azure Blob Storage account to Cool.
Explanation: Upgrading to a general-purpose v2 storage account provides cost-effective options for storage. Setting the access tier to Cool optimizes costs for infrequently accessed data while still providing reasonably fast retrieval times.
