[All AZ-304 Questions]

HOTSPOT -
You are planning an Azure Storage solution for sensitive data. The data will be accessed daily. The data set is less than 10 GB.
You need to recommend a storage solution that meets the following requirements:
✑ All the data written to storage must be retained for five years.
✑ Once the data is written, the data can only be read. Modifications and deletion must be prevented.
✑ After five years, the data can be deleted, but never modified.
✑ Data access charges must be minimized.
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Suggested Answer:
Box 1: General purpose v2 with Archive acce3ss tier for blobs
Archive - Optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements, on the order of hours.
Cool - Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
Hot - Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
Box 2: Storage account resource lock
As an administrator, you can lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. The lock overrides any permissions the user might have.
Note: You can set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-only respectively.
✑ CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource.
✑ ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.

"The data will be accessed daily." & "Data access charges must be minimized." => Hot Tier. "Once the data is written, the data can only be read.", WORM "Immutable storage for Azure Blob storage supports two types of WORM or immutable policies: time-based retention and legal holds." => Container Level Policy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-immutable-storage#how-it-works

There is no such thing as "Container Level Policy" Just to be clear: 1st box: Hot tier 2nd box: Container access policy

I think, we should have cool access tier instead of archive as the data will be accessed daily and access charges should be minimized.

Reducing access charges is reducing latency not the storage cost.

Wrong: hot and cool tiers have same latency (milliseconds). They differ in SLA and cost. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview#summary-of-access-tier-options

What? "Charges" refer to cost obviously. Access tier with lowest data access charges is Hot.

Hot storage is much cheaper in this scenario, thus 1:hot must be correct

Agree with @juandmi see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiers : "Data access costs: Data access charges increase as the tier gets cooler. For data in the cool and archive access tier, you're charged a per-gigabyte data access charge for reads"

To access ur data on a daily basis on cool access tier will cost more than hot access tier so its definitely storage account V2 with Blob on hot tier for sure

Going to do the exam soon, but I do not agree with the answers, for me they are: 1- Hot tier: It is the cheapest for access charges. 2- Storage account resouce lock: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/lock-resources?tabs=json Why the correct answer for 1 is Archive? Why some people say the 2nd is container access policy?

With such a small data set storage and write charges are insignificant, access charges will be much more important. Whilst daily access just about allows for the ~15hr retrieval time, the access charges for Archive tier will be extremely expensive so it cannot be the solution. Hot tier read cost is roughly half that of cool so is the correct solution here.

So, tell us..why archive and not hot? Also, you scored a 900, impressive, isn't that a "perfect" score? Something tells me you're full of BS. Who knows, maybe you're a genius.

Hot storage tier is optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently. Hot storage has higher storage costs than Cool and Archive storage, but the lowest access costs. Cool storage tier is for infrequently accessed data that needs to be stored for a minimum of 30 days. The storage cost for cold tier is lower than that of hot storage tier but the data access charges are high when compared to Hot tier. The Azure Archive tier is offline and offers the lowest storage costs but also the highest access costs. This tier is meant for data that remains in archival storage for a minimum of 180 days.

There is no requirement for minimizing storage costs but "minimizing access charges" so account type is Hot Tier Prevent modifications and deletes would be container access policy https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/immutable-storage-overview Immutability policies can be scoped to a blob version (preview) or to a container. How an object behaves under an immutability policy depends on the scope of the policy

1st box: Hot tier 2nd box: Container access policy A read-only lock on a storage account doesn't prevent data within that account from being deleted or modified. This type of lock only protects the storage account itself from being deleted or modified, and doesn't protect blob, queue, table, or file data within that storage account. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/lock-resources?tabs=json
