Exam AZ-104 topic 3 question 5 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-104
Question #: 5
Topic #: 3
[All AZ-104 Questions]

HOTSPOT -
You need to create an Azure Storage account that meets the following requirements:
✑ Minimizes costs
✑ Supports hot, cool, and archive blob tiers
✑ Provides fault tolerance if a disaster affects the Azure region where the account resides
How should you complete the command? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer:
Box 1: StorageV2 -
You may only tier your object storage data to hot, cool, or archive in Blob storage and General Purpose v2 (GPv2) accounts. General Purpose v1 (GPv1) accounts do not support tiering.
General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for Azure Storage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices.

Box 2: Standard_GRS -
Geo-redundant storage (GRS): Cross-regional replication to protect against region-wide unavailability.
Incorrect Answers:
Locally-redundant storage (LRS): A simple, low-cost replication strategy. Data is replicated within a single storage scale unit.
Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS): Cross-regional replication with read access to the replica. RA-GRS provides read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to geo-replication across two regions, but is more expensive compared to GRS.

I agree Box 1: StorageV2 Box 2: Standard_GRS Regarding a clear official statement of the missing support for access tiers by StorageV1 (named “Storage” in the –kind option), I’ve found this URL https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/blobs/, in the “Other” tab, you can read “Note: General-purpose v1 accounts don’t have access to Hot, Cool, or Archive tiered storage. For access to tiered storage, upgrade to a general-purpose v2 account.”

Pass the exam on 11 August 2023 with 909, Below are some of the notes that may help for Blob and file storage: A. Blob Storage: 1-Archive is supported in Blob Storage and General Purpose v2 (GPv2) accounts. Only storage accounts that are configured for LRS, GRS, or RA-GRS support moving blobs to the archive tier. 2-Import supports Azure Blob storage and Azure File storage 3 -Export supports Azure Blob storage 4-support Lifecycle management policies. Lifecycle management policies are supported for block blobs and append blobs in general-purpose v2, premium block blob, and Blob Storage accounts. 5-Object Replication supports General Purpose V2 and Premium Blob accounts. 6-Support both Azure (AD) and SAS (Shared Access Signature) token.

A. Blob Storage: Continue.. 7-Support conditions when added to built-in or custom role assignments that have blob storage or queue storage data actions 8-Encryption scopes support a container or an individual blob 9-Not Support ZRS 10-az support 11-support stored access policies 12-Tieing is supporting only or block blobs 13-Flow logging for Blob Storage accounts has a retention period of 30 days. General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage accounts instead, which support flow logging with a retention period of up to 365 days.

Keep in mind the question is mentioning the minimize cost, even though Storage v2 and blob both can support the hot, cool, and archive but Storage V2 is lowest cost. so answer is correct.

Blob storage is not listed as an option. Maybe the question has been updated :) Today, Blob Storage and GPv2 have the same price (tested using the azure calculator)

Considering the requirements, the `az` command would be: az storage account create -g RG1 --n storageaccount1 --kind StorageV2 --sku Standard_GRS Here, `--kind StorageV2` specifies a general-purpose v2 storage account, and `--sku Standard_GRS` specifies geo-redundant storage for disaster recovery.

RA-GRS provides read only access to the data in the secondary location. So does this mean GRS give you no access at all to the replica? Is there a way to have equally full access to the replica as the primary?

Answer is correct : az storage account create -g RG1 -n storageaccount1 --kind StorageV2 --sku Standard_GRS Microsoft recommends using "General v2" accounts if possible. General v2 accounts offer the lowest prices per gigabyte for Azure Storage as well as industry-wide competitive transaction prices.

The following replication options are available for storage accounts: Locally redundant storage (LRS): A simple, cost-effective replication strategy. Data is replicated three times synchronously in the primary region. Zone-redundant storage (ZRS): Replication for scenarios that require high availability. Data is replicated synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. Geo-redundant storage (GRS): Cross-region replication to protect against regional failures. The data is replicated synchronously three times in the primary region and then replicated asynchronously to the secondary region. For read access to the data in the secondary region, enable read-only geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS). Geozone redundant storage (GZRS) (preview): Replication for scenarios that require both high availability and maximum durability. The data is replicated synchronously to the primary region via three Azure availability zones and then replicated asynchronously to the secondary region. For read access to the data in the secondary region, enable geozone-redundant read-only storage (RA-GZRS).
