Difficulty: EasyConfigure Azure Files and Azure File Sync

You plan to implement Azure File Sync to synchronize files from an on-premises Windows Server to Azure. Which two of the following resources must you create in Azure before you can register the server and configure synchronization? (Select two.)

  1. A Storage Sync Service resourceAnswer
  2. An Azure file share in a Storage accountAnswer
  3. C
    A Shared Access Signature (SAS) token with no expiration date
  4. D
    A Blob container with a lifecycle management policy

Answer

A Storage Sync Service resource and an Azure file share in a Storage account
To deploy Azure File Sync, you must create a Storage Sync Service, which manages sync topology, and a standard Azure file share, which functions as the cloud endpoint. The on-premises server registered with the Storage Sync Service then syncs its folders to the file share.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target storage service in Azure used by Azure File Sync.
Azure File Sync only synchronizes with Azure Files (file shares), not Blob containers or other storage resources.
This establishes that an Azure file share within a standard or premium Storage account is a mandatory prerequisite.
2
Determine the control plane orchestration resource required for synchronization.
The Storage Sync Service is the control plane resource in Azure that coordinates synchronization across registered servers.
The Windows Server agent registers directly with the Storage Sync Service to receive sync configurations, making it the second required resource.
