Zorluk: OrtaAzure Storage Accounts, Blob, Disk, Files, and Storage Tiers

A company needs to store quarterly compliance reports in Azure. The reports are accessed only once every few months, but must be readable immediately when requested. The system administrator plans to store the reports in the Archive access tier of Azure Blob Storage to minimize storage costs. Why is this plan inappropriate for the company's requirement?

  1. Data in the Archive tier is stored offline and must be rehydrated to a warmer tier before it can be read, which introduces a delay of several hours.Cevap
  2. B
    Data stored in the Archive tier is not managed by Microsoft, requiring the customer to perform manual operating system updates on the underlying storage servers.
  3. C
    Retrieving data from the Archive tier requires the customer to deploy and maintain a virtual machine to process the read operations.
  4. D
    Storing data in the Archive tier shifts the Azure subscription billing model from an Operational Expenditure (OpEx) to a Capital Expenditure (CapEx).

Cevap

Data in the Archive tier is stored offline and must be rehydrated to a warmer tier before it can be read, which introduces a delay of several hours.
The correct answer is correct because the Archive access tier stores data offline. While it offers the lowest storage cost, the data cannot be read directly. To retrieve the data, it must first be rehydrated to the Hot or Cool tier, which introduces a retrieval latency of several hours. This makes the Archive tier inappropriate for data that must be readable immediately.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business requirements for the compliance reports.
The reports must be accessed quarterly (rarely) and must be readable immediately when requested.
This establishes the latency requirement (immediate access) and the frequency of access (quarterly).
2
Evaluate the characteristics of the Archive storage tier.
The Archive tier is designed for cold data with latency tolerances of several hours due to the required rehydration process.
This helps determine if the Archive tier meets the requirement for immediate availability.
3
Compare the requirements against the tier capabilities and select the correct option.
The Archive tier fails to meet the immediate readability requirement. A warmer tier (such as Cool or Cold) is required instead.
This confirms that the plan to use the Archive tier is inappropriate due to the offline status of the data.
