Difficulty: MediumAzure Storage Accounts, Blob, Disk, Files, and Storage Tiers

For a blob stored in the Archive access tier of an Azure Blob Storage container, you can read and update the blob's metadata and tags without rehydrating the blob to a warmer tier.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The correct option is True because Azure Blob Storage keeps blob metadata online and accessible even when the underlying blob data is archived, allowing read/write operations on metadata without rehydration.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the access state of the Archive tier in Azure Blob Storage.
In the Archive tier, the blob's data is offline, meaning it cannot be read or written directly. However, its metadata remains online.
To determine what operations are allowed without rehydration.
2
Check the availability of metadata, properties, and tags.
Metadata, properties, and index tags can be read, updated, or queried online at any time.
To verify if metadata updates require rehydration.
3
Compare with the statement's claim.
The statement claims metadata and tags can be read and updated without rehydration, which matches the behavior of Blob Storage.
To conclude whether the statement is True or False.
