Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Microsoft Defender for Cloud's multi-cloud support, specifically which platforms support container protection and storage protection capabilities.

Approach. For Containers: Defender for Cloud can protect containers on Azure, AWS, and GCP - all three platforms support container security through Defender for Containers, which provides threat protection for Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS, and GKE). For Storage: Defender for Cloud's storage protection (Defender for Storage) is currently available only on Azure. AWS S3 and GCP Cloud Storage are not supported for Defender for Storage; only Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, and Azure Data Lake Storage are covered. Therefore, Containers = Azure, AWS, GCP; Storage = Azure only.

Concept tested. Microsoft Defender for Cloud multi-cloud coverage - understanding that while Defender for Containers extends protection across Azure, AWS, and GCP Kubernetes services, Defender for Storage is limited to Azure-native storage services and does not extend to AWS S3 or GCP Cloud Storage.
