[All AZ-204 Questions]

HOTSPOT -
You need to configure the Account Kind, Replication, and Access tier options for the corporate website's Azure Storage account.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer:
Account Kind: StorageV2 (general-purpose v2)
Scenario: Azure Storage blob will be used (refer to the exhibit). Data storage costs must be minimized.
General-purpose v2 accounts: Basic storage account type for blobs, files, queues, and tables. Recommended for most scenarios using Azure Storage.
Incorrect Answers:
✑ BlockBlobStorage accounts: Storage accounts with premium performance characteristics for block blobs and append blobs. Recommended for scenarios with high transactions rates, or scenarios that use smaller objects or require consistently low storage latency.
✑ General-purpose v1 accounts: Legacy account type for blobs, files, queues, and tables. Use general-purpose v2 accounts instead when possible.
Replication: Geo-redundant Storage
Scenario: Data must be replicated to a secondary region and three availability zones.
Geo-redundant storage (GRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region using LRS. It then copies your data asynchronously to a single physical location in the secondary region.
Incorrect Answers:
Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS), but it would be more costly.

Access tier: Cool -
Data storage costs must be minimized.
Note: Azure storage offers different access tiers, which allow you to store blob object data in the most cost-effective manner. The available access tiers include:
Hot - Optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
Cool - Optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.

Replication should be GZRS. Requirements ask "Data must be replicated to a secondary region and three availability zones". GRS option doesn't copy data in different availability zones

Geo-redundant storage (GRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region using LRS. It then copies your data asynchronously to a single physical location in the secondary region. Within the secondary region, your data is copied synchronously three times using LRS. Geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region using ZRS. It then copies your data asynchronously to a single physical location in the secondary region. Within the secondary region, your data is copied synchronously three times using LRS.

Why is not RA-GZRS? Isn't it much cheaper than GZRS?

What about cool vs hot in the last box? Shouldn't this be hot, because the site gets accessed frequently?

That is also my question? Any where mention performance requirements? Only thing to make it cool, is that behind CDN, cached inside CDN maybe?

No, even though its behind CDN, it should still be hot, because the CDN will most likely ask Storage Account several times a day. Cool will only be considered if the read frequency of storage account will be less than 1 per month.

But is only important to minimize storage costs, not storage access costs. If they had said "minimize total storage costs" I also would have chosen hot.

1. StorageV2 is a recommended kind. 2. GZRS because "Data must be replicated to a secondary region and three availability zones." and are not required for reading access in the secondary region. Due to GZRS is cheaper than RA-GZRS, we select it. 3. There are no specific requirements that lead us to which access tier is better. Cool has an advantage when we care about storage cost and we do not change files. We store SPA. It is not supposed to be huge. But due to we expect that the modern development process may be turned into multiple releases per day, I believe that hot is preferable. And again, because we do not have specific requirements and default is used to be "hot", I select "hot":
