106
Q

Describe a ‘shared access signature (SAS)’

A

107
Q

What is the purpose of implementing a shared access signature (SAS)?

A

A secure way to share storage resources with unauthorized users without compromising your account keys.

108
Q

Can a shared access signature (SAS) be time based?

A

Yes; Specify the time interval for which a SAS is valid.

109
Q

What are the two types of shared access signature (SAS)?

A
  1. Account-level
  2. Service-level

Standalone GUI application for accessing multiple storage accounts and subscriptions, to manage Storage content.

143
Q

What are the requirements to implement Azure Storage explorer?

A

Requires Azure Resource Manager and Role-based access control along with Azure AD (Entra ID).

147
Q

Describe ‘Azure File Sync’

A

Enables you to cache several Azure Files shares on an on-premises Windows Server or cloud virtual machine.

148
Q

Define ‘Cloud tiering’

A

Optional feature of Azure File Sync; Frequently accessed files are cached locally on the server while all other files are tiered to Azure Files based on policy settings.

149
Q

How is a file stored with Azure File Sync cloud tiering?

A

Initially stored on-prem, once inactivity policy is reached, File Sync replaces the file with a pointer URL (reparse point) to the file in Azure files.

150
Q

Greyed icons with an offline O file attribute.

152
Q

What are the best scenarios for Azure File Sync?

A

Migration; Support for Branch offices; Backup/recovery.

153

A

Azure Blobs, Azure Files, Azure Queues, and Azure Tables.

155
Q

What is the benefit of combining multiple azure storage services under a single storage account or resouce group?

A

Enables you to manage them as a group.

156
Q

What is the affect of deleting a storage account?

A

Deletes all of the data stored inside it.

157
Q

Resource manager.

160
Q

When choosing a name for a storage account, what must be required?

A

The name must be globally unique.

161
Q

What are two ways to limit public access to blob storage?

A
  1. Via the Storage Account
  2. Via the Container
162
Q

What parameter is configured at the storage account level to allow public access?

A

Set the AllowBlobPublicAccess property to true or false.

163
Q

What are the two ways public access is granted at the storage account level?

A
  1. Public read access for blobs
  2. public read access for a container and its blobs
164
Q

In order to allow public access to blob storage, what two things must be configred?

A
  1. Storage account set to public access
  2. Container settings set to public access.
165
Q

What are the 3 types of Shared access signatures (SASs)?

A
  1. User delegation SAS
  2. Service SAS
  3. Account SAS
166
Q

How is ‘User delegation shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

Secured with Microsoft Entra credentials; Can only be used for blob storage.

167
Q

How is a ‘Service shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

secured using a storage account key to only once of four Azure Storage services.

168
Q

How is a ‘Account shared access signature (SAS)’ secured?

A

Secured with a storage account key; Can also control access to service-level operations.

169
Q

How many shared access signatures (SASs) can a single stored access policy be associated with?

A

Up to five active SASs.

170
Q

How is a shared access signature (SAS) encrypted?

A

The signature is signed with your storage account key when you create a service or account shared access signature or with a user delegation shared access signature in Entra ID.
