Azure Files supports the Network File System (NFS) protocol for file shares created in standard general-purpose v2 storage accounts.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because Azure Files supports the Network File System (NFS) protocol only on premium file shares. Premium file shares require a premium FileStorage account type. Standard general-purpose v2 storage accounts do not support NFS file shares and are limited to Server Message Block (SMB) and REST protocols.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the storage protocols supported by Azure Files under different storage account types.
Azure Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols, but they have different account requirements.
To determine if NFS can be used with standard general-purpose v2 accounts.
2
Verify the requirements for deploying NFS file shares in Azure Files.
NFS file shares require premium performance and must be created in premium FileStorage accounts.
Standard general-purpose v2 accounts only support the SMB protocol for file sharing.
