AZ104-Q: reduce archive-data cost automatically

Audit data is accessed frequently for 30 days and rarely afterward. It must remain available for seven years. What should the team configure?

  • A) A blob lifecycle rule that transitions eligible blobs to cooler/archive tiers at defined ages. ✓
  • B) A CanNotDelete lock on every blob.
  • C) A Contributor assignment for auditors.
  • D) A new storage account each month. Answer: A. Lifecycle management automates tier changes using age and other conditions. Why not the others: Access control and locks do not optimize tiering; account proliferation adds overhead.
