AZ-801 · Question #53
You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1. Crash dumps for a process named Process1 are enabled for VM1. When process1.exe on VM1 crashes, a technician must access the memory dump files on the virtu
The correct answer is C. an Azure Blob Storage container. To allow a technician to access crash dump files from an Azure VM without direct VM access, the files should be configured to be stored in an Azure Blob Storage container and the technician granted access to that container.

Why each option
To allow a technician to access crash dump files from an Azure VM without direct VM access, the files should be configured to be stored in an Azure Blob Storage container and the technician granted access to that container.
While an Azure file share could store files, it's not the default or most common destination for diagnostic crash dumps from Azure VMs; Blob storage is the standard.
An Azure Log Analytics workspace is for collecting and analyzing logs and metrics, not typically for storing raw memory dump files.
Azure virtual machine diagnostic settings, which include crash dump collection, typically output the collected data, including memory dump files, to an Azure Storage account's Blob container. By granting the technician access only to this specific Blob Storage container, they can retrieve the dump files without needing direct access to the virtual machine itself, adhering to the principle of least privilege. This method allows for secure offloading and access to diagnostic data.
A managed disk is the underlying storage for the VM itself, and granting access to it would involve granting access to the VM's OS, which contradicts the requirement of preventing VM access.
