A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: D.
To access the storage account "analyticsdemo" from the IP address of his computer, Adam needs to configure the firewall settings of the storage account to allow access from his client IP address.
Option A, using ExpressRoute integration of the storage account "analyticsdemo", is not relevant to the scenario mentioned in the question. ExpressRoute is a private connection between the on-premises infrastructure and Azure datacenters, used for more secure and reliable connections, but it is not necessary for Adam to access the storage account from his remote client IP address.
Option B, adding a custom domain to "analyticsdemo" storage account, is also not relevant to the scenario mentioned in the question. Custom domains are used to map a custom domain name to a storage account endpoint, but it is not necessary for Adam to access the storage account from his remote client IP address.
Option C, setting the replication rule in the containers of "analyticsdemo", is also not relevant to the scenario mentioned in the question. Replication rules are used to define how data is replicated between storage accounts, but it is not necessary for Adam to access the storage account from his remote client IP address.
Option D, configuring the client IP address of Adam's computer to allow access from the internet/on-premises network of the Firewall section of Selected VNET section of the Storage account "analyticsdemo", is the correct answer. Adam needs to configure the storage account firewall to allow access from his remote client IP address, which is 203.21.102.34, by following these steps:
- Navigate to the storage account "analyticsdemo" in the Azure portal.
- Go to the "Firewall and virtual networks" section under the "Settings" menu.
- Select the "Selected networks" option and click on "Add existing virtual network".
- Select the virtual network that Adam's computer is connected to and click on "Add".
- Click on the "Add client IP" button and add Adam's client IP address, which is 203.21.102.34.
- Click on the "Save" button to save the firewall settings.
After configuring the firewall settings, Adam should be able to access the storage account "analyticsdemo" from his remote client IP address.
