Difficulty: EasyConfigure Blob Storage Lifecycle and Replication

You have an Azure General Purpose v2 (GPv2) storage account. You need to configure a lifecycle management policy to optimize storage costs. Which two actions can you perform by using lifecycle management rules? (Select two.)

  1. Transition blobs to a cooler storage tier based on the last modified time.Answer
  2. Delete blobs, blob snapshots, or blob versions after a specified number of days.Answer
  3. C
    Automatically switch the storage account replication settings from Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) to Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) based on capacity thresholds.
  4. D
    Grant the Storage Blob Data Contributor role to a Microsoft Entra ID group for specific blobs that are older than 30 days.

Answer

Transitioning blobs to a cooler storage tier based on the last modified time, and deleting blobs, blob snapshots, or blob versions after a specified number of days.
The actions to transition blobs to a cooler storage tier based on last modified time and to delete blobs, snapshots, or versions are the core capabilities of Blob Storage lifecycle management policies.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the capabilities of Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management.
Lifecycle management allows you to transition blobs to cooler tiers and delete blobs, snapshots, or versions.
This determines what operations can be automated.
2
Evaluate the option related to changing replication settings.
Automating storage replication tier changes (e.g., LRS to GRS) is not supported by lifecycle policies; it requires manual action or infrastructure automation.
Replication is an account-level setting, while lifecycle management rules target blobs.
3
Evaluate the option related to granting RBAC roles.
Lifecycle rules cannot assign or revoke access permissions or interact with the Microsoft Entra ID data/control planes.
Lifecycle management only handles data lifecycle states (tiering and deletion).
