Exam AZ-104 topic 3 question 49 discussion

N-N-N, moreover for file 1 rule 2 consideration, it says if file is not modified for longer than 5 days move to cool. june 1-6 = 5 days which is not longer than 5 days.

Do you have a source on this? because what Im reading is that it can be done, but its not advised because rehydrating does not change the modified date. So the issue would be that the file would be moved out of Archive into Cool (as per the rules) but then get moved back to Archive because that rule still applies. There are other modifiers that can be set to prevent this but Microsoft recommends Copying the file out of Archive instead of moving it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/archive-rehydrate-overview?source=recommendations "Changing a blob's tier doesn't affect its last modified time. If there is a lifecycle management policy in effect for the storage account, then rehydrating a blob with Set Blob Tier can result in a scenario where the lifecycle policy moves the blob back to the archive tier after rehydration because the last modified time is beyond the threshold set for the policy"

Where did you find this information? I can't find this anywhere in the docs. I think what applies here is the situation described in the docs: "Note: If you define more than one action on the same blob, lifecycle management applies the least expensive action to the blob. For example, action delete is cheaper than action tierToArchive. Action tierToArchive is cheaper than action tierToCool." Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview#rule-actions Rule1 and Rule2 apply, but Rule1 is the cheaper option. As maxsteele pointed out, even if the blob was manually moved to the cool tier, it would be immediately moved back to archive.
