AZ-104 Question 82
Single answerYour organization has two Azure Storage accounts in different regions: contososrc (the source) and contosodst (the destination). You have configured an object replication policy in contososrc to replicate blobs from a container named sourcecontainer to a container named destcontainer in contosodst. Despite creating the policy on the source account, no data is being replicated to contosodst. Which additional step must you take to successfully enable object replication between these accounts?
- A
Create a matching object replication policy in contosodst that references the source container details
- B
Enable public blob access for both containers so they can synchronize fully
- C
Configure an Azure Storage firewall rule to whitelist the contosodst account’s IP range
- D
Switch the source storage account (contososrc) to geo-redundant storage (GRS) to allow cross-region replication
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Object replication requires policies to exist in both the source and destination storage accounts, each referencing the other account’s container. Defining only a policy on the source does not complete the replication configuration; the destination storage account must also have a corresponding policy to enable the data transfer.
- A. Correct.
You must define a policy in the destination account referencing the source container/bucket details for object replication to function properly, so both sides know about the replication process
- B. Incorrect.
Enabling public access is not required for object replication; it involves configured policies rather than public visibility
- C. Incorrect.
Firewall configuration is not the main requirement for object replication; the key step is setting up matching policies in both source and destination accounts
- D. Incorrect.
Geo-redundant storage is a different replication approach at the storage account level, not the object-level replication feature you set up in policies
