AZ400-Q: handle a legal-hold exception
Pipeline evidence normally expires after 30 days, but an ongoing investigation requires one release’s logs and artifacts to be retained longer. What should the team do?
- A) Apply the documented retention/legal-hold exception to the specific evidence, record ownership and expiry/review, and avoid changing unrelated retention by default. ✓
- B) Delete the release to reduce visibility.
- C) Keep every artifact forever without review.
- D) Copy logs into a public repository.
Answer: A. Targeted, documented exceptions preserve required evidence while maintaining intentional retention governance.
Why not the others: Deletion/public exposure are unsafe; indefinite blanket retention is not a considered policy.
