AZ-104 Certification Practice Question #145

Question

You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that contains two containers named container1 and container2. Blob versioning is enabled for both containers.

You periodically take blob snapshots of critical blobs.

You create the following lifecycle management policy.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

1. **Statement 1 (No):** In Azure Storage lifecycle management, policy rules must explicitly target `snapshots` in the action definitions (e.g. `actions.snapshots.tierToCool`) to transition them. Because the policy rule in the exhibit only targets blob versions (or base blobs) and does not specify a snapshot subtype target, snapshots are unaffected.
2. **Statement 2 (No):** The lifecycle policy contains a `prefixMatch` filter configured specifically to `"container1/"`. Because of this filter, the policy does not evaluate or apply to any blobs or versions in `container2`.
3. **Statement 3 (No):** For a rehydrated blob to be archived again, it must reside in `"container1/"` (which is not specified here), and it must satisfy the `daysAfterLastTierChangeGreaterThan` condition (typically set to 7 days in policies to prevent immediate re-archiving of newly rehydrated data). Thus, it does not automatically move to Archive purely based on the 30-day creation date.
