Correct answer: an Azure Import/Export job, Azure Data Factory.
Why this is the answer
An Azure Import/Export job is suitable for large-scale data transfers (terabytes to petabytes) where network bandwidth is a bottleneck or transferring over the network would be too time-consuming. You ship physical hard drives containing your data to an Azure datacenter. Azure Data Factory is a cloud-based data integration service that allows you to create, schedule, and orchestrate data movement and transformation workflows. It can copy data from on-premises sources, including Windows file servers, to Azure Blob Storage. Azure Logic Apps is primarily for workflow automation and integration of applications and services, not for bulk data transfer. Azure Analysis Services On-premises data gateway is used to connect Azure Analysis Services to on-premises data sources for data modeling, not for general file transfer. Azure Batch is a service for running large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) applications efficiently in the cloud, not a direct data transfer service.
