AZ-802 Manage Storage and File Services Practice Question
You are configuring Azure File Sync to synchronize a local folder on FileServer1 with an Azure file share. Which TWO endpoint types must be added to a Sync Group to enable this functionality?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cloud endpoint
A Sync Group defines the topology for Azure File Sync. It must contain exactly one cloud endpoint, which represents the Azure file share, and one or more server endpoints, which represent paths on registered Windows Servers. This structure allows data to flow between the cloud and on-premises locations.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Cloud endpoint
Why this is correct
A cloud endpoint is a mandatory component of a Sync Group that points to a specific Azure file share within a Storage Account. It serves as the central hub for all synchronized data, allowing multiple on-premises servers to stay in sync with a single cloud-based master copy.
- ✓
Server endpoint
Why this is correct
A server endpoint represents a specific path on a registered Windows Server that is participating in synchronization. You can have multiple server endpoints in a single Sync Group if you want to sync the same Azure file share across several different physical or virtual servers.
- ✗
Storage endpoint
Why it's wrong here
While 'Storage Account' is a related term, 'Storage endpoint' is not a valid technical term for an object within an Azure File Sync Group. The specific object that links the Sync Group to the storage resource in the cloud is always referred to as the cloud endpoint.
- ✗
Network endpoint
Why it's wrong here
Network endpoints usually refer to Service Endpoints or Private Endpoints used for securing network traffic in Azure. While these might be used to secure the connection to the Storage Account, they are not configuration objects that are added to an Azure File Sync Group topology.
- ✗
Management endpoint
Why it's wrong here
Management endpoints typically refer to the URLs used to interact with the Azure Resource Manager API. They are not part of the data synchronization logic or the Sync Group configuration, which relies strictly on cloud and server endpoints to define the path of data movement.
