    AZ-305 · Question 42 · Domain 4.1: Compute Solutions

    An enterprise is deploying Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for 5,000 concurrent users.

    Users will connect to pooled session hosts. To ensure a consistent user experience, user profiles must be stored externally using FSLogix profile containers.

    During the morning logon storm (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM), the storage solution must handle massive IOPS spikes as thousands of VHDX profile disks are mounted simultaneously. Latency must remain under 2 milliseconds to prevent logon timeouts.

    Which storage solution should you recommend for the FSLogix profiles?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Azure Blob Storage

    B.

    Azure Files (Standard tier)

    C.

    Azure NetApp Files

    D.

    A Windows Server VM running Storage Spaces Direct

    How to approach this question

    Identify the scale (5,000 users) and performance requirement (<2ms latency). NetApp Files is the premium choice for high-IOPS SMB workloads.

    Full Answer

    C.Azure NetApp Files✓ Correct
    Azure NetApp Files
    For large-scale Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployments using FSLogix profile containers, storage performance is critical during logon storms. Azure NetApp Files is a high-performance, bare-metal file storage service that supports SMB. It provides sub-millisecond latency and can easily handle the massive IOPS required by 5,000 concurrent profile mounts. Azure Files Premium is an alternative for smaller deployments, but NetApp Files is the architectural standard for enterprise scale.

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Azure Files Standard, which will fail under the load of a logon storm.
