Domain: Implement and manage storage
Topic: Manage data in Azure storage accounts
Difficulty: medium
An organization is experiencing high costs due to frequent access to certain Azure Blob Storage blobs. They want to optimize costs while ensuring that the blobs remain accessible. Which action should they take, and why?
Answer Options
A
Set all blobs to the Hot Access Tier to ensure fast access.
B
Set all blobs to the Cool Access Tier to reduce costs.
C
Set the access tier of frequently accessed blobs to Hot and implement a lifecycle management rule to move them to the Cool Access Tier after 30 days of inactivity.
D
Do not change the access tier settings and continue with the current configuration.
Correct Answer
C: Set the access tier of frequently accessed blobs to Hot and implement a lifecycle management rule to move them to the Cool Access Tier after 30 days of inactivity.
Explanation
The correct answer is to set the access tier of the frequently accessed blobs to Hot and implement a lifecycle management rule to move them to the Cool Access Tier after 30 days of inactivity. This approach ensures that the blobs remain accessible when needed and reduces costs by moving them to a cooler tier when they are not frequently accessed. Setting all blobs to Hot would increase costs, while setting all to Cool would make frequently accessed data less available. Not implementing a lifecycle management rule would not optimize costs.
