Question 1

For an upcoming rollout at Alpine Ski House, the governance team needs to choose the most accurate administrative approach for this requirement: compare azure storage services. Which response is most appropriate if the solution should also improve auditability? The team wants the decision to match the exact control boundary rather than the most feature-rich option.

1. Microsoft Entra ID provides cloud identity and access management; Microsoft Entra Domain Services supplies managed domain capabilities such as domain join, LDAP, Kerberos, and NTLM for compatible workloads
2. Azure datacenters house the physical compute, storage, networking, power, and cooling infrastructure that supports Azure regions and services
3. Microsoft Entra External ID capabilities support collaboration or customer identities for people outside the primary workforce directory
4. Blob storage is optimized for object data, Azure Files provides managed file shares, queues support messaging, tables provide NoSQL key-value style storage, and managed disks support Azure VMs
5. Management groups provide a hierarchy above subscriptions for applying governance and access controls across multiple subscriptions
