Configure Azure Storage Object Replication Prerequisites

Answer Select StorageV2 for the Account type and Container for the Object type to create.

HOTSPOT You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that stores images. You need to create a new storage account and replicate the images in storage1 to the new account by using object replication. How should you configure the new account? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Hot Area: [sampleXML/xmlfile-211_1.jpg]

Community Insight

The exam tests knowledge of supported storage account types for object replication, where the common trap is confusing 'BlobStorage' (legacy) with 'StorageV2' or 'BlockBlobStorage'.

This question tests the prerequisites for Azure Blob Storage object replication, specifically requiring a General Purpose V2 (StorageV2) account type and a Container resource. It establishes that legacy BlobStorage accounts are incompatible with this feature.

Learners often incorrectly select 'BlobStorage' because they associate it with blob storage, failing to recognize that object replication requires the newer General Purpose V2 architecture or Premium Block Blob accounts.

Hi guys just passed the exam with a 886!! most of the questions were from here, but there were new questions mainly about encryption, keys and container commands (creating and applying a image to one). A WHOLE NEW case study on keys, encryption(Win and Linux VM's with different disks and they asked which ones can be encrypted, attribute assignment roles (go over) There was also one question that asked what's the easiest way to give a v-net and your home network access to a storage account without using p2s. - Confusion!!!! Here some of the questions I remember (please note you questions will not be exactly the same) I have my page setup to show 50 questions per page -

Object replication supports general-purpose v2 storage and premium block blob accounts. not Blob Storage

MOSES3009 👍 8

Not right answer. IMHO, there must be StorageV2 only Container

SgtDumitru 👍 3

Agree, only StorageV2 & BlockBlobStorage(Premium Block Blobs) supports object replication.

athli 👍 3

Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts and premium block blob accounts. Both the source and destination accounts must be either general-purpose v2 or premium block blob accounts. Object replication supports block blobs only; append blobs and page blobs aren't supported.

Account type: StorageV2 or BlobStorage only-- since requirement is to store image Object type to create in the new account: Container containers can store image

Mehedi007 👍 8

1) StorageV2 only. Because 'Blobstorage' is a legacy storage a/c type. 'BlockBlobstorage' is a premium storage a/c type which supports object replication. "Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts and premium block blob accounts." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-overview#prerequisites-and-caveats-for-object-replication 2) Container

Answer incorrect Blob is legacy and not block blob which is premium Q1:StorageV2 Q2:Container See; https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-overview "Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts and premium block blob accounts. Both the source and destination accounts must be either general-purpose v2 or premium block blob accounts.

The Account Type should be "SorageV2 only". As stated in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-powershell BlobStorage refers to legacy blob storage which does not support object replication.

I took Exam of Azure- 104 at 27/2/2023 I score 920 points out of 1000 points. This was on it and my answer was: 1) Account type: "StorageV2 or Blobstorage only" 2) Object type to create in the new account: "Container"

The answer is wrong. BlobStorage refers to legacy storage account. check out this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/storage/account?view=azure-cli-latest --kind : Indicate the type of storage account. accepted values: BlobStorage, BlockBlobStorage, FileStorage, Storage, StorageV2 default value: StorageV2 so based on this info the correct answers are: Account type: StorageV2 and Object type: Container

1) Account type: "StorageV2 or Blobstorage only" 2) Object type to create in the new account: "Container" Images are best stored in Blob storage.

Correct Answer

epomatti 👍 7

What the answer means instead of "BlobStorage" probably is "premium block blob". So it is correct, just the terminology is confusing. This is what the documentation says: "Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts, and for premium block blob accounts in preview. Both the source and destination accounts must be either general-purpose v2 or premium block blob accounts. Object replication supports block blobs only; append blobs and page blobs are not supported."

garmatey 👍 2

Its not "confusing"...its just straight up wrong. "BlobStorage" and "BlockBlobStorage" are explicitly two distinct terms. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-powershell

Yeh, it is confusing. "Blob Storage" is actually the "Supported storage services".

Don't agree Account type: StorageV2 only Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts and premium block blob accounts Blobstorage is not premium Object replication is supported for general-purpose v2 storage accounts and premium block blob accounts

👍 24

Object replication is supported by Storage V2 and Premium Block Blob storage. Legacy Block blob storage does not support object replication. BlobStorage specifically refers to Legacy Block Blob storage while Premium Block Blob storage is always referenced as BlockBlobStorage. In short we can only use StorageV2 in this case.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Object replication in Azure requires both the source and destination storage accounts to be either General Purpose V2 (StorageV2) or Premium Block Blob accounts. The new account must be configured as StorageV2 to support these features. Additionally, since you are replicating images (blobs), the logical container within the storage account must be selected as the object type to create, as replication operates at the container level.

Why Other Candidate Answers Are Wrong

Legacy 'BlobStorage' accounts do not support object replication; only 'BlockBlobStorage' (Premium) or 'StorageV2' do. Selecting 'BlobStorage' is a common error due to similar naming but different underlying capabilities. Furthermore, selecting options like 'File Share' or 'Queue' would be incorrect because the scenario involves image blobs, which reside in containers, not file shares or queues.

Community Comment Notes

Community consensus strongly supports StorageV2 and Container. Users like Ewong and AK4U_111 emphasize that 'BlobStorage' is legacy and unsupported, while 'BlockBlobStorage' is premium. Multiple learners confirmed this exact question appeared on recent AZ-104 exams, validating the specific answer combination of StorageV2 and Container.

Official Reference

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/object-replication-overview#prerequisites-and-caveats-for-object-replication

Exam Strategy

When configuring replication, always verify the account type first: only GPv2 or Premium Block Blob accounts work. Remember that replication targets are Containers for blobs, not the entire account or other resource types like File Shares.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use BlobStorage account type for object replication?

No, legacy BlobStorage accounts do not support object replication. You must use General Purpose V2 (StorageV2) or Premium Block Blob accounts.

What is the difference between BlobStorage and BlockBlobStorage?

BlobStorage is a legacy optimized type that does not support replication. BlockBlobStorage is a premium tier that does support object replication and versioning.
