You need to give a third-party auditor temporary read-only access to specific blobs in a container without sharing the storage account keys. Which feature should you use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

A storage account key

Sharing an account key grants broad access and is not appropriate for limited temporary delegation.

B

Best answer

A shared access signature (SAS)

A SAS provides scoped, time-limited access without exposing the account keys.

C

Distractor review

A resource lock

A lock does not grant access permissions.

D

Distractor review

Blob versioning

Blob versioning preserves versions but does not delegate access.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
