An organization is deploying a legacy document management system running on Linux virtual machines that requires a shared file system accessible via the NFS protocol. At the same time, they are setting up a database server that requires consistent sub-millisecond latency for its transaction logs. Which TWO of the following Azure storage solutions should the organization deploy to meet these requirements? (Select TWO)
- An Azure Files share configured with the Premium performance tierAnswer
- Azure Ultra Disk Storage to host the database transaction logsAnswer
- CAn Azure Blob Storage container configured with the Archive storage tier to directly host the database transaction logs
- DAn Azure Files share configured with the Standard performance tier using the SMB protocol to host the Linux shared file system
Answer
The organization should deploy an Azure Files share configured with the Premium performance tier and Azure Ultra Disk Storage.
The Premium tier of Azure Files supports the NFS protocol, which is a requirement for the Linux virtual machine shared storage. Azure Ultra Disk Storage provides sub-millisecond latencies, which is ideal for performance-sensitive transaction logs of a database.
