Answer is correct . The lifecycle management feature is available in all Azure regions for general purpose v2 (GPv2) accounts, blob storage accounts, premium block blobs storage accounts, and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 accounts.

A bad question; storage account type and kind are mixed here. Also at this point, this is all legacy. Storage account types offered now without switching to legacy are simply standard (gpv2) and premium. Even in legacy, there isn't any such storage account type as "filestorage", so storage4 as listed is not valid, period.

Yes, they mixed up type and kind here, but there indeed is a kind called FileStorage, which refers to "Premium file shares" and they are not legacy.

Though "Blob Storage" is legacy and Q should not have included this, answer is Storage1 and Storage2 only(B). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview -Known issues and limitations Tiering is not yet supported in a premium block blob storage account. For all other accounts, tiering is allowed only on block blobs and not for append and page blobs. -Note Tiering is not yet supported in a premium block blob storage account. For all other accounts, tiering is allowed only on block blobs and not for append and page blobs. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview - Note Setting the access tier is only allowed on Block Blobs. They are not supported for Append and Page Blobs. -Note Data stored in a premium block blob storage account cannot be tiered to hot, cool, cold or archive by using Set Blob Tier or using Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management.

The only contradictory line in first link is this, which should be ignored given the other write ups: Lifecycle management policies are supported for block blobs and append blobs in general-purpose v2, premium block blob, and Blob Storage accounts. Lifecycle management doesn't affect system containers such as the $logs or $web containers

 Azure storage offers different access tiers, allowing you to store blob object data in the most cost-effective manner.  Tiers are a way to organize your data based on how frequently it will be accessed and how long it will be retained, with the end goal of optimising cost. NOTES: -Hot/Cool/Archive tiering applies to 'blobs,’ not files/queues/tables (other performance options exist for these) -Further, Setting the access tier is only allowed on Block Blobs. They are not supported for Append and Page Blobs. -Blobs in GPV2 storage account can be set to Hot/Cool/Archive. Premium Block Blob storage account - Data stored in a premium block blob storage account cannot be tiered to hot, cool, or archive using Set Blob Tier or using Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management.

As I understand it, lifecycle management can be used for automatically changing the tier, but also for automatically deleting the data. Therefore a lifecycle management policy on a premium block blob is supported and can be used for deleting data, just not for changing the data tier.

Exam be like: Memorize every little thing you need to know in order to be an Azure Admin Real life be like: Works a job where you wait for something to go wrong. When something goes wrong, you go to Google and Microsoft documentation on what could truly be the problem because you ain't gonna remember any of this... even if you did, probably won't help you irl.
