Identify The Two Elements That Compose A Key In Azure Table Storage

MDFT Pro is designing a scalable data storage solution to manage their growing student database. MDFT Pro needs to store diverse student information including enrollment details, course progress, certification achievements, and contact information for thousands of students across multiple training programs and geographic locations.

Mark, the database architect at MDFT Pro, is evaluating Azure Table Storage as a cost-effective solution for storing this semi-structured student data. Claire, the lead developer, needs to understand how data is uniquely identified and retrieved in Azure Table Storage to properly design their data access patterns and ensure efficient queries.

Which two elements compose a key in Azure Table Storage that uniquely identify each entity?

Choose all correct answers from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Timestamp is incorrect. The timestamp is a system-generated property that records when an entity was last modified. While important for concurrency control, it is not part of the key used to uniquely identify entities.
Partition Key is correct.
Table Name is incorrect. The table name identifies the table within the storage account but is not part of the key that uniquely identifies individual entities within the table.
Row Key is correct.
Value is incorrect. Values represent the data properties stored for each entity. They are the content retrieved when querying by key, not part of the key itself.
