Your organization has offices in multiple locations in France. Teams are distributed across the country. Your organization uses a private cloud storage solution to synchronize work-related data and make it available to employees across locations. Employees must manually synchronize the data on the cloud with that on their computers.

You are asked to plan for a solution that automatically synchronizes data, reduces costs and eliminates the dependency on Internet speeds to synchronize data. You plan to use Azure File Storage.

Which of the following are mandatory requirements to implement Azure File Storage and accomplish the goal of the plan? (Select all that apply.)

A) Create an Azure File Share on the Azure portal.

B) Register the on-premises servers with the Storage Sync Service.

C) Prep on-premises servers that meet the requirements to deploy Azure File Sync.

D) Deploy Azure File Sync on the on-premises servers.

E) Create ExpressRoute circuit(s) for the Azure File Sync solution.

F) Create a Sync Group and add the on-premises servers as Server Endpoints on the Azure portal.

G) Install Windows Deployment Services on-premises

Explanation

The following are mandatory requirements:

• Deploy Azure File Sync on the on-premises servers.
• Create an Azure File Share on the Azure portal.
• Prep on-premises servers that meet the requirements to deploy Azure File Sync.
• Register the on-premises servers with the Storage Sync Service.
• Create a Sync Group and add the on-premises servers as Server Endpoints on the Azure portal.

One of the purposes of Azure File Storage is for file shares in the cloud. You can use Azure File Storage to create file shares without worrying about overhead of a physical server, device, or appliance. The following are the steps you must perform to set up Azure File Storage and the planned solution:

1. Create a File Share by using the Azure portal, PowerShell, or CLI and specify the maximum limit of the File Share.

2. Identify servers or on-premises virtual machines that will synchronize and download the files to the on-premises locations by using Azure File Sync.

Although Azure File Sync is not a mandatory requirement to use Azure File Storage effectively, in the desired solution for this question, automatic synchronization, caching and reducing bandwidth costs, and eliminate dependency on Internet speeds. So, Azure File Sync must be used.

First, deploy Azure File Sync agent on the on-premises resources you’ve prepped. Next, register the on-premises servers with the Storage Sync service to establish a trust relationship. Lastly, create a Sync Group to define the sync topology for a set of files. Endpoints within a sync group are kept in sync with each other.

A sync group must contain one cloud endpoint, which represents an Azure file share and one or more server endpoints. Also, add the on-premises servers as the Server Endpoints.

Azure ExpressRoute is not a mandatory requirement. Azure ExpressRoute is a feature that allows you to extend your on-premises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private connection facilitated by a connectivity provider. So, this is NOT a mandatory requirement to make Azure File Storage and Azure File Sync.

Windows Deployment Services (WDS) is not a mandatory requirement. WDS is a server role that allows you to deploy Windows operating systems remotely.
