Exam AZ-200 topic 1 question 8 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-200

Question #: 8
Topic #: 1

Each year, a company consolidates manufacturing data for a year and stores the data in a single blob within a Blob container. Data from previous years is stored in the same storage account in the same container.
The company has a General Purpose v2 (GPv2) Azure Storage account with a Blob container named Compliance-data. Data from previous years is retained for compliance reasons but it is infrequently accesses.
The current solution is becoming costly. You observe that users accidentally modify compliance data.
You need to reduce costs and preserve the compliance data.
What should you do?

A. In the Azure Portal, go to configuration settings of each blob in the Compliance-data container and set Access tier to Archive.
B. Set up another GPv2 storage account and copy data to the new storage account.
C. In the Azure Portal, go to configuration settings for each blob in the Compliance-data container and set the Access tier to Cool.
D. Configure another GPv2 cold storage account and copy data to the new storage account.

Show Suggested Answer

Cool storage is optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Archive storage is optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).

Why C? Data is stored just for compliance reasons and is not supposed to be accessed. Should be A no?
