Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To create a file share in Azure Storage, you must first go to the storage account, select File shares, and specify the new share’s name and quota. Other configurations, such as enabling Kerberos authentication, private endpoints, or generating SAS tokens, are optional and depend on additional security or access requirements.
- A. Correct.
This describes the basic and required steps to create and name the Azure file share in a storage account.
- B. Incorrect.
Azure AD Kerberos authentication is an optional configuration step that applies only if you need Active Directory-based authentication for your file share.
- C. Incorrect.
A private endpoint can be used for secure, private access to the file share, but it is not mandatory for creating the share itself.
- D. Incorrect.
Generating a SAS token is helpful for controlled access scenarios but is not required to initially create the file share.
