You are designing a plan for migrating Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs) and video files to Windows Azure Storage.
The VHDs must be optimized for random read/write operation.
The video files must be optimized for sequential access.
You need to recommend storage types for storing the VHDs and video files.
Which two storage types should you recommend?
(Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A. Store VHDs in Windows Azure page blob storage.
B. Store VHDs in Windows Azure block blob storage.
C. Store video files in Windows Azure page blob storage.
D. Store video files in Windows Azure block blob storage.
Correct Answer: AD
Explanation/Reference:
You can store text and binary data in either of two types of blobs:
Block blobs, which are optimized for streaming.
Page blobs, which are optimized for random read/write operations and which provide the ability to write to a range of bytes in a blob.
After you create or change the server image, you are ready to upload the .vhd file that contains the image data to Windows Azure. There are two opportunities for uploading VHDs to Windows Azure. When you initially create a VM role, you upload a base VHD to Windows Azure, which is used as a template to create VM role instances.
