Actual exam question from Microsoft's AZ-305
Question #: 8
Topic #: 3
[All AZ-305 Questions]

HOTSPOT -
You plan to develop a new app that will store business critical data. The app must meet the following requirements:
✑ Prevent new data from being modified for one year.
✑ Maximize data resiliency.
✑ Minimize read latency.
What storage solution should you recommend for the app? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Standard general-purpose v2
Standard general-purpose v2 supports immutable storage.
In general Standard general-purpose v2 is the preferred Microsoft recommendation.
Box 2: Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)
ZRS is more resilient compared to LRS.
Note: RA-GRS is even more resilient, but it is not an option here.

To minimize read latency premium block blobs is the right answer, the immutable storage is also supported on premium tier. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/immutable-storage-overview#supported-account-configurations

The buzz words in this scenario are maximum and minimum, so I'm thinking minimum cost, ----->>> Standard v2..

Bro, can you read? ✑ Prevent new data from being modified for one year. (Both Standard + Premium) ✑ Maximize data resiliency. (ZRS) ✑ Minimize read latency. (Premium) Hence - Premium. There isn't ANYTHING related with keyword "cost". Why do you make it up?

Even if there are no cost limits mentioned, why recommend an higher cost option when you can do it for less??? Given answers are correct..

Because we have to minimize latency and Premium is better in that regard.

Prevent new data from being modified for one year. - Premium ✑ Maximize data resiliency. - Standard and Premium ✑ Minimize read latency. - Premium So the choice is premium ZRS as GRS is not available

Since NO cost limits are discussed => i would go for premium and ZRS (this is highest redundancy Premium provides i.e. LRS and ZRS - Block, Share but page ONLY LRS)

As some others indicated premium block blobs - High performance (Low latency) and WORM policy applies to it ZRS offers data resiliency further info found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/premium-storage-performance https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/immutable-storage-overview

This is true for the three -900 level exams, as well. A LOT of wrong answers. At least the -900 level ExamTopics don't have as many duplicate questions.

Storage Account Type: Premium Block Blobs provide high-performance, low-latency storage for unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents. However, it does not provide a built-in feature to prevent data modification. Standard General Purpose v1 or v2 can be used with the help of additional features such as Azure Blob Versioning to meet the requirement of preventing new data from being modified for one year. Since the requirement is to minimize read latency, I would recommend using the Standard General Purpose v2 storage account type which offers a higher level of performance and scalability. Redundancy: To maximize data resiliency, I would recommend using Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) replication. This replicates data across multiple zones within a single region, providing high availability and resiliency in case of a zone failure. Therefore, the recommended storage solution for the given scenario would be to use Standard General Purpose v2 storage account type with ZRS redundancy and additional features such as Azure Blob Versioning to prevent new data from being modified for one year while minimizing read latency.

Blob storage offers data lock irrespective of which account- premium or V2. So I don't see how this V2 immutability means much here. You can apply readONLY lock on the containers for both account types. Besides immutability (time-based retention and legal hold) are supported in V2 & premium blob - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/immutable-storage-overview So latency should be the main deciding factor here.
