Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
An organization stores large volumes of data in Azure Blob Storage that is rarely accessed but must be retained for compliance reasons. Retrieval times of up to several hours are acceptable when the data is required. As an Azure administrator tasked with minimizing storage costs, which storage access tier should you configure for this data?
The Archive access tier is designed for data that is rarely accessed and can tolerate retrieval latency of several hours. It offers the lowest storage costs among the tiers, making it ideal for minimizing costs for long-term retention of infrequently accessed data required for compliance.
The Cool tier is suitable for infrequently accessed data that requires immediate (< milliseconds) retrieval, but its storage costs are higher than the Archive tier. The Hot tier has the highest storage costs and is intended for frequently accessed data, which does not align with the scenario. The Premium tier provides high-performance storage at a higher cost and is not appropriate for rarely accessed data where cost minimization is a priority.
