Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage enables users to store business-critical data objects in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) state. This state makes the data non-erasable and non-modifiable for a user-specified interval. For the duration of the retention interval, blobs can be created and read, but cannot be modified or deleted. Immutable storage is available for general-purpose v2 and Blob storage accounts in all Azure regions.
Note: Set retention policies and legal holds
1. Create a new container or select an existing container to store the blobs that need to be kept in the immutable state. The container must be in a general- purpose v2 or Blob storage account.
2. Select Access policy in the container settings. Then select Add policy under Immutable blob storage.

Either -
3a. To enable legal holds, select Add Policy. Select Legal hold from the drop-down menu.

Or -
3b. To enable time-based retention, select Time-based retention from the drop-down menu.
4. Enter the retention interval in days (acceptable values are 1 to 146000 days).

Answer should be NO since administrator can remove the legal hold by removing all tags.

Agree, plus requirement clearly states time. Should be time-based retention.

For best practice, legal holding must be used only if you don't know the holding time.

From: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-immutable-storage#time-based-retention-policies For example, suppose that a user creates a time-based retention policy with a retention interval of five years. An existing blob in that container, testblob1, was created one year ago; so, the effective retention period for testblob1 is four years. When a new blob, testblob2, is uploaded to the container, the effective retention period for the testblob2 is five years from the time of its creation. So answer is OK!

No - because " If the retention interval is not known, users can set legal holds" but in this scenario time is 5 years.

Legal hold is for indefinity. Here we have 5 years so should be time-based retention
