AZ-305 · Question 26 · Domain 2.3: Recommend a Data Storage Solution
A media company stores 500 TB of video files in an Azure Storage Account.
The access pattern is highly predictable: videos are accessed frequently in the first 30 days, occasionally between 31 and 90 days, and rarely after 90 days. However, videos must be retained for 7 years for compliance. You need to design a storage solution that minimizes costs while meeting these requirements.
Which feature should you implement?

Azure Data Factory pipelines

Storage Account object replication
How to approach this question
Look for 'predictable access pattern over time' and 'minimize costs'. This requires automated tiering.
Full Answer
B.Blob Lifecycle Management policies✓ Correct
Blob Lifecycle Management policies
Azure Blob Storage Lifecycle Management offers a rule-based policy that you can use to transition blob data to the appropriate access tiers or expire data at the end of the data lifecycle. You can configure a rule to move blobs to the Cool tier after 30 days, to the Archive tier after 90 days, and delete them after 7 years, perfectly optimizing costs.
Common mistakes
Thinking you need a custom script or Data Factory to move the files. Lifecycle management is built-in and free.
