You have a public-facing application named App1. App1 is comprised of the following three tiers:

A SQL database

A web front end

A processing middle tier

Each tier is comprised of five virtual machines. Users access the web front end by using HTTPS only.

Requirements -

Planned Changes -

Contoso plans to implement the following changes to the infrastructure:

Move all the tiers of App1 to Azure.

Move the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage.

Create a hybrid directory to support an upcoming Microsoft Office 365 migration project.

Technical Requirements -

Contoso must meet the following technical requirements:

Move all the virtual machines for App1 to Azure.

Minimize the number of open ports between the App1 tiers.

Ensure that all the virtual machines for App1 are protected by backups.

Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.

Ensure that the blueprint files are stored in the archive storage tier.

Ensure that partner access to the blueprint files is secured and temporary.

Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.

Use unmanaged standard storage for the hard disks of the virtual machines.

Ensure that when users join devices to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), the users use a mobile phone to verify their identity.

Minimize administrative effort whenever possible.

User Requirements -

Contoso identifies the following requirements for users:

Ensure that only users who are part of a group named Pilot can join devices to Azure AD.

Designate a new user named Admin1 as the service administrator of the Azure subscription.

Admin1 must receive email alerts regarding service outages.

Ensure that a new user named User3 can create network objects for the Azure subscription.

Azure Storage Explorer is a free tool from Microsoft that allows you to work with Azure Storage data on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can use it to upload and download data from Azure blob storage.

Scenario:

Planned Changes include: move the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage.

Technical Requirements include: Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.

To move the existing product blueprint files to Azure Blob storage while ensuring that the blueprint files are stored in the archive storage tier, the following technical requirements must be met:

  1. Copy the blueprint files to Azure over the Internet.
  2. Ensure that partner access to the blueprint files is secured and temporary.
  3. Prevent user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.

Option A: Generate a shared access signature (SAS). Map a drive, and then copy the files by using File Explorer. This option involves generating a shared access signature (SAS) to provide temporary access to Azure Blob storage. The SAS is a token that contains a set of permissions and an expiration time. The SAS can be used to access the Blob storage without the need for an Azure Storage account key. This option meets the requirement of providing temporary access to partner organizations while preventing user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure. However, it does not meet the technical requirement of copying the files to Azure over the Internet.

Option B: Use the Azure Import/Export service. This option involves shipping a physical hard drive containing the files to an Azure data center. The files are then imported into Azure Blob storage using the Azure Import/Export service. This option does not meet the technical requirement of copying the files to Azure over the Internet.

Option C: Generate an access key. Map a drive, and then copy the files by using File Explorer. This option involves generating an access key to provide permanent access to Azure Blob storage. The access key can be used to access the Blob storage through Azure Storage Explorer or by mapping a drive. This option does not meet the technical requirement of providing temporary access to partner organizations while preventing user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure.

Option D: Use Azure Storage Explorer to copy the files. This option involves using Azure Storage Explorer, a free, standalone application, to copy the files to Azure Blob storage. This option meets the technical requirement of copying the files to Azure over the Internet. It also meets the requirement of preventing user passwords or hashes of passwords from being stored in Azure since Azure Storage Explorer does not store user passwords or hashes of passwords. However, it does not meet the requirement of providing temporary access to partner organizations.

Therefore, the best option to move the blueprint files to Azure while meeting the technical requirements is Option D: Use Azure Storage Explorer to copy the files.
