DP-900Domain 3: Describe Considerations for Working with Non-Relational Data on AzureNon-Relational Data on AzureeasySingle choice
Legacy apps need shared file storage mounted over SMB that works like an on-prem file share — lift-and-shift without code changes. Which service?
A.Azure Blob Storage
Blob is object storage — not mountable as SMB.
B.Azure Files
Managed SMB shares = Azure Files. Correct.
C.Azure Data Lake Storage
ADLS is analytics storage — not SMB shares.
D.Azure Disk Storage
Disks attach to one VM — not a shared filesystem.
Why this answer
Azure Files = managed SMB/NFS file shares mountable by Windows/Linux/macOS — the file-server-in-the-cloud service. Blob is object storage (no SMB mounting natively); disks attach to a single VM.
