AZ-204 Certification Practice Question #138

Question

You are developing an application that uses a premium block blob storage account. You are optimizing costs by automating Azure Blob Storage access tiers.
You apply the following policy rules to the storage account. You must determine the implications of applying the rules to the data. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Accepted Answer

The authoritative MS Learn lifecycle management page explicitly states: "Tiering is not yet supported in a premium block blob storage account." This means all tiering-related statements (Rows 1, 2, and 3) are **No** because the policy rules shown — tierToCool, tierToArchive, enableAutoTierToHotFromCool — simply don't execute against premium accounts. Row 4 (deletion of blobs older than 730 days) is also **No** because the policy uses `daysAfterModificationGreaterThan` (last modified date), not blob creation date; the statement incorrectly says "older than 730 days" which implies creation-based age. Multiple high-vote recent commenters citing the official docs agree on No/No/No/No. The earlier Yes/Yes/Yes/No majority predates current docs and is now outdated.
