Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Storage1, storage2, and storage3 only
Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management offers a rich, rule-based policy for GPv2 and blob storage accounts. Use the policy to transition your data to the appropriate access tiers or expire at the end of the data's lifecycle.
Box 2: Storage1, storage2, and storage4 only
General purpose version 2 (GPv2) storage accounts: GPv2 storage accounts allow you to deploy Azure file shares on standard/hard disk-based (HDD-based) hardware.
FileStorage storage accounts: FileStorage storage accounts allow you to deploy Azure file shares on premium/solid-state disk-based (SSD-based) hardware.

Hey guys, the problem here is a question based on an old version of Azure Storage Account service. Currently there is no GPv2 Premium storage account but only standard performance tier. In addition we have Premium Block Blobs, Premium File Shares and Premium Page Blobs services: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview Unfortunately microsoft exams are full of questions about this old version of the storage account so I decided to deepen reconstructing its history. It would appear in fact that the current composition of the service is a 2019 update. I refer you in particular to the following article that explains everything very well and at the bottom has a summary table that contains just what we need. https://www.skylinesacademy.com/blog/2019/6/28/azure-storage-options-explained Also for more insights you can read these: https://www.edureka.co/community/40011/different-storage-accounts-there-major-difference-between https://insidemstech.com/tag/general-purpose-v2/ In conclusion the correct answers are: Box1 --> 1 and 3 Box2 --> 1 and 4

Correct! Box1: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview#feature-support Box2: "Azure Files supports two storage tiers: premium and standard. Standard file shares are created in general purpose (GPv1 or GPv2) storage accounts and premium file shares are created in FileStorage storage accounts. Learn more about how to create standard file shares and premium file shares."

I think the answer should be App1: 1,2,3,4. Since Azure file share also has different Tier App2: 1,2,4 is correct

Vincent, as of 12/29/21, Premium storage does not support hot/cold/archive tiers. It is mentioned in this feature table and also in another section in the same article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview#feature-support

jamess...you said "so app1 needs to be storage1, storage2 and storage4." For app 1 there is NO answer for: storage 1, storage 2, and storage 4. Also, for app 2...there is no such answer for "app2 should be storage1, storage2, storage3" So did you get the boxes mixed up? Im just asking.

az_architect that is incorrect. gpv2 and blob support access tiers. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiers gpv1 does not support access tiers. so it says 'app 2 application data' which possibly means logs or database/table data. which can't go into 'file storage'. it has to be gpv1, gpv2 or blob to store in tables. so app1 needs to be storage1, storage2 and storage4. app2 should be storage1, storage2, storage3

storage 2 does not support access tiers. Hence storage 1& storage 3 for first application. Storage 1 and 4 for the second application.
