Hotspot Question You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that stores images. You need to create a new storage account and replicate the images in storage1 to the new account by using object replication. How should you configure the new account?

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure Storage object replication requirements, specifically what settings must be configured on the destination storage account to enable cross-account blob replication.

Approach. For object replication to work in Azure Storage, the destination (new) account must meet specific requirements: it must be a StorageV2 (general-purpose v2) or premium block blob account kind, it must have blob versioning enabled (as object replication relies on versioning to track changes), and it must have change feed enabled on the source account. The destination account's redundancy (replication type) can be set to LRS, GRS, RA-GRS, ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS - there is no restriction there. Blob versioning must be enabled on BOTH source and destination accounts, and change feed must be enabled on the source. The account kind must be StorageV2 (not BlobStorage or StorageV1), and the access tier can be Hot or Cool. Object replication supports replicating block blobs asynchronously between a source and destination account, and the accounts can be in different Azure regions or even different subscriptions within the same Azure AD tenant.

Concept tested. Azure Storage Object Replication requirements - specifically that the destination account must be StorageV2 kind, must have blob versioning enabled, and the correct understanding of supported redundancy options and account configurations for object replication to function properly.
