Question

Hotspot Question You have an Azure subscription that contains the storage accounts shown in the following table. You need to create private endpoints for the target sub-resources of the storage accounts. The solution must ensure that all the target sub-resources can be accessed by using a private endpoint. What is the minimum number of private endpoints you should create for each storage account? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of Azure private endpoints and how many endpoints are required per storage account sub-resource type. Each sub-resource (blob, file, queue, table, dfs, web) requires its own dedicated private endpoint.

Approach. In Azure, a private endpoint maps to exactly one sub-resource of a storage account. If a storage account supports multiple sub-resources (e.g., blob, file, queue, table), you need one private endpoint per sub-resource you want to expose privately. For a general-purpose v2 storage account with all services enabled, you would need up to 6 private endpoints (blob, file, queue, table, dfs for Data Lake Gen2, web for static websites). For a storage account with only specific services enabled, the count matches the number of active sub-resources. The minimum number of private endpoints equals the number of target sub-resources that need private access - typically: StorageV2 with blob+file+queue+table = 4, a Blob-only account = 1, a Data Lake Storage Gen2 account with blob+dfs = 2, etc. Without the actual table data showing specific accounts, the key rule is: one private endpoint per sub-resource per storage account.

Concept tested. Azure Private Endpoints for Storage Accounts - specifically that each storage sub-resource (blob, file, queue, table, dfs, web) requires its own individual private endpoint, so the minimum number of private endpoints equals the number of sub-resources that must be privately accessible on each storage account.
