Which two resources are provisioned when you deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Azure?

• A. Blob, Managed Disks
• B. Blob, Virtual Machines
• C. Storage Accounts, Virtual Network
• D. Managed Disks, VNet

Answer: (A)

When Cloud Volumes ONTAP is deployed in Azure, it uses two kinds of storage resources for its operation. The data backing for the ONTAP volumes is stored in Azure Blob storage, which provides scalable object storage for the data. At the same time, the ONTAP appliance runs on a VM that relies on Azure Managed Disks for its operating system and any necessary disks. So the two resources provisioned are Blob storage for the data and Managed Disks for the VM-backed storage. The other options don’t describe these two storage components used by the deployment.
