Exam AZ-104 topic 3 question 61 discussion

Sorry, the corect answer is D 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. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview

Who in their right mind will set up rules like this? Answer is D.

If you set multiple actions on the same blob within a lifecycle management policy, Azure Blob Storage will automatically choose and apply the least expensive action to that blob, prioritizing options like deleting over archiving, and archiving over moving to a cooler tier.

Unbelievable. It's as if we're trying to trick our system to see how it would respond. Who in their right mind would set anything up like this.

D is correct delete is the cheapest action here

My instructor explained this to me. This is a trap question. Rule 2 (5 days, Delete the Blob) is the key. If base blobs were last modified more than (days) 5 days, you delete the Blob. Let's think what happened to the Blob. It's deleted when it's modified more than 5 days. If the Blob is deleted, you can't even move to Archive storage. Because there is nothing to store again. So, the answer is D. deleted.

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.

D is correct

Think about it like this. You have 3 conflicting rules. Which one has the lowest cost? Delete

To me, the correct answer is C the file has been stored and not modified, so it would be still in the hot tier. To test this, I moved/copied an old file to another folder. Among created date, modified date, and access date (file properties) only accessed date changed.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview#rule-actions "Note Tiering is not yet supported in a premium block blob storage account. For all other accounts, tiering is allowed only on block blobs and not for append and page blobs."

Answer is D

The rules are evaluated based on the last modification date of the blob. If a blob is moved from the Hot tier to the Cool tier on June 5th due to Rule1, its last modified date changes. This means the clock for the 5-day period resets. Given this: On June 1, File1 is stored in the Hot access tier. On June 5 (5 days after June 1), Rule1 is applied, and File1 is moved to the Cool access tier. The last modified date of File1 is now June 5. On June 7, only 2 days have passed since the last modification (when it was moved to the Cool tier). Therefore, Rule2 and Rule3 have not yet been triggered. So, on June 7, File1 would still be in the Cool access tier.
