A is misleading; break-even isn't just about fixed costs.

This looks like a tricky ZFS question. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about how each one would impact disk space usage.

I think the answer might be OMP since it deals with overlay management, but I'm a bit unsure about the specifics on transport redundancy.

The Issued Phase sounds like it could be the right answer, since that's when the certificate is actually issued by the CA. But I'm not 100% certain on that.

Ah, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards C, azcopy, since that's the Azure-specific tool for transferring data. But I'll double-check the other options just to be sure.
