Q5 Functions Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

Which storage resource does the Functions runtime require for triggers, leases, and Durable state?

  1. A A Cosmos DB account
  2. B An Azure Storage account referenced by AzureWebJobsStorage (correct answer)
  3. C A Redis cache
  4. D A SQL database

Shortcut: The runtime uses the storage account for timer leases, blob trigger receipts, and Durable task hubs. Losing or misconfiguring it breaks triggering entirely.
