Exam AZ-104 topic 3 question 62 discussion

Correct 1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 Lifecycle management policies are supported for block blobs and append blobs in general-purpose v2, premium block blob, and Blob Storage accounts. 2 - storage2 Only storage accounts that are configured for LRS, GRS, or RA-GRS support moving blobs to the archive tier. The archive tier isn't supported for ZRS, GZRS, or RA-GZRS accounts. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview

Passed today on 29Jan23 with a score of 970. This question was in the exam. Correct Answer: 1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 2 - storage2

Correct. A good way to memorize. Lifecycle not dependent on Redundancy strategy. Rather, it is limited by BlockBlobs and AppendBlobs in general. (So, v1,v2, premium,etc). Archive is not allowed whenever there is a Zone redundancy involved. Any Redundancy that has a "Z" is currently not supported.

CORRECT moving blobs to the archive tier is supported only on LRS, GRS, RA-GRS

Given answer is right

Lifecycle limitations 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. A lifecycle management policy must be read or written in full. Partial updates are not supported. Each rule can have up to 10 case-sensitive prefixes and up to 10 blob index tag conditions. If you enable firewall rules for your storage account, lifecycle management requests may be blocked. You can unblock these requests by providing exceptions for trusted Microsoft services. For more information, see the Exceptions section in Configure firewalls and virtual networks. A lifecycle management policy can't change the tier of a blob that uses an encryption scope. The delete action of a lifecycle management policy won't work with any blob in an immutable container. With an immutable policy, objects can be created and read, but not modified or deleted. For more information, see Store business-critical blob data with immutable storage.

It seems that if there is zonal redundancy then archive option is not available

So am I correct that in case a Storage V2 case that happens to be set as ZRS, although the Lifecycele Management is supported on the Storage v2, but because of the ZRS, the LM will lack of the support to archive to archived tier. Am I right?

1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 2 - storage2

This was the last question I saw before entering my exam venue, guess what ? It was my first question, I didn't even bother to read the question. Lol

Correct Answer: 1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 2 - storage1 and storage 2 only

correct answer. 1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 2 - storage2

This came in the exam early this week. 1 - storage1, storage2, storage3 2 - storage2

These kind of questions are so ridiculous. Who is supposed to memorize and remember such minute nuances in real life?

People who pass the exam did you study all questions here? and if yes, did you see word for word or different wording but questions from here?

I'm not even sure if there is even a sound reasoning as to why zone-redundant is not supported by archive tier. This sounds absolutely arbitrary to me.

In the above question I see RA-GRS provided and not RA-GZRS , so does it mean that the storage account 2 will have access to archieve tier
