Difficulty: EasyConfigure Blob Storage Lifecycle and Replication

An administrator needs to configure a lifecycle management policy for a standard General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage account to minimize storage costs. Which of the following actions is supported by Azure Blob Lifecycle Management rules?

  1. A
    Automatically transitioning blobs from the Archive tier to the Hot tier when they are accessed by a client application
  2. B
    Transitioning page blobs on a premium storage account to the Cool tier
  3. Transitioning block blobs from the Hot tier to the Archive tier based on the time since the blobs were last modifiedAnswer
  4. D
    Moving files from an Azure File share to an Azure Blob container when they have not been modified for ninety days

Answer

Transitioning block blobs from the Hot tier to the Archive tier based on the time since the blobs were last modified
Transitioning block blobs from the Hot tier to the Archive tier is a supported action in Azure Storage Lifecycle Management, allowing users to move older, infrequently accessed data to a lower-cost tier automatically.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the storage account type and blob type in the scenario.
The scenario uses a standard General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage account and block blobs.
Lifecycle management rules are fully supported on GPv2 storage accounts for block blobs.
2
Evaluate the supported actions for Lifecycle Management rules.
Supported actions include transitioning block blobs to cooler tiers (Cool, Cold, Archive) and deleting them based on age.
This allows administrators to define policies that automatically transition blobs to lower-cost tiers over time.
3
Determine which option describes a supported action.
Transitioning block blobs from the Hot tier to the Archive tier is supported, whereas automating rehydration (Archive to Hot), tiering premium page blobs, or syncing Azure Files are not supported.
Selecting the supported action completes the policy configuration.

Key Concept

Azure Blob Lifecycle Management supports transitioning block blobs to cooler storage tiers (Cool, Cold, Archive) and deleting them based on modification or creation time.
