Answer Area

  • azcopy commandmake
    makesynccopy
  • Storage account URL service typeblob
    blobdfsqueuetableimagesfile

Explanation

To create a new blob container using AzCopy, you must use the 'make' command and specify the 'blob' storage service endpoint.

Approach. From the first dropdown, select 'make'. The azcopy v10 'make' command is explicitly used to create a new container or file share in an Azure Storage account. From the second dropdown, select 'blob'. Azure Storage containers are a feature of Azure Blob Storage, so the correct Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the endpoint must include the 'blob' service subdomain (e.g., https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/vmimages).

Common mistakes.

  • common_mistake. Selecting 'copy' or 'sync' in the first dropdown is incorrect because the scenario specifically asks how to create the container, not how to transfer the data into it. For the second dropdown, selecting 'file', 'dfs', or 'images' is incorrect; containers exist in Blob storage (using the 'blob' endpoint), whereas 'file' is for Azure Files, 'dfs' is for Data Lake Storage Gen2, and 'images' is not a valid storage service endpoint.

Concept tested. AzCopy v10 resource creation syntax and Azure Storage service endpoints.
