Describe Azure storage services
Objective storage.services sits in Describe Azure architecture and services, which carries 38% of the Azure Fundamentals exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the Microsoft Azure page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
A solutions architect needs one storage account that can host blob containers, file shares, queues, and tables, with a choice of LRS, GRS, or ZRS redundancy. Which storage account type should they select?
The concept
Storage account types support different combinations of storage services and redundancy options.
Why this answer
Standard general-purpose v2 is the only listed type that supports Blob, Queue, Table, and File storage together, with LRS, GRS, ZRS, and their read-access variants.
- AChoose this for unmanaged disks and page blob writes, a single-service case driven by latency.
- BThis is the SMB and NFS file share option, and it holds nothing else.
- This is correct: it is the recommended type for most multi-service scenarios.
- DBuilt for high-transaction block blob workloads with small objects, where the premium rate pays back.

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A backup team stores short-term disaster-recovery data that is accessed infrequently but must remain immediately readable and writable, retained for at least 30 days. Which access tier best fits this scenario?
Sample question 2 of 3
A compliance team must retain audit records that are almost never accessed, can tolerate hours of latency for retrieval, and require the lowest possible storage cost. Which access tier should they use?
Sample question 3 of 3
An administrator moves a block blob into the cool tier and then deletes it after only 18 days. Based on the early deletion policy, for how many days will an early deletion fee be charged?
That’s 3 of the full Azure Fundamentals bank.
