Server1 (on-premises) has multiple file shares and uses IP address 192.168.10.12. You will migrate the shares to an Azure VM with Storage Migration Service but must ensure on-premises clients can continue to access the shares using the same IP 192.168.10.12. What Azure component should you include in the solution?

Correct answer: Azure Extended Network.
Why this is the answer
Azure Extended Network is the correct component. It allows you to stretch your on-premises network to Azure, enabling Azure VMs to use the same IP addresses as your on-premises servers. This is crucial for maintaining seamless client access to file shares after migration without reconfiguring clients. Azure Private DNS zones manage DNS resolution within Azure and for private endpoints, but they don't enable an Azure VM to use an on-premises IP address. Azure Private Link provides private connectivity to Azure services over a private endpoint, not for extending on-premises IP addresses to VMs. Azure virtual network peering connects two Azure virtual networks, or an Azure virtual network to an on-premises network via VPN/ExpressRoute, but it doesn't facilitate the use of on-premises IP addresses directly on Azure VMs in the way Extended Network does for migration scenarios.
