A shortcut can point to which of these sources?
Why A is the answer
Amazon S3
Microsoft says shortcuts connect to sources including Azure, AWS and OneLake.
In detail
- Shortcuts can point to external storage such as Amazon S3.
- Shortcuts cover Azure, AWS and OneLake sources, among others.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A company keeps clickstream data in Amazon S3. A OneLake shortcut lets Fabric read it there, with no migration.

Why the other options are wrong
- B. An eventstream
- An eventstream is not a shortcut target.
- C. A Power BI report
- A report is not a storage location.
- D. A KQL query result
- A query result is not a storage location.
