  1. Which Azure Storage tier is most cost-effective for data accessed frequently?

    Answer: Hot tier

    The Hot tier has the lowest access cost and is best for frequently accessed data.

  2. What is the maximum recommended retention period before the Cool tier becomes less cost-effective than Hot?

    Answer: Data stored for at least 30 days and accessed infrequently

    The Cool tier is intended for data stored at least 30 days that is accessed infrequently.

  3. Which Azure Storage security feature encrypts all data at rest automatically?

    Answer: Storage Service Encryption (SSE)

    Azure Storage Service Encryption automatically encrypts all data at rest by default.

  4. Which networking feature restricts storage account access to a specific virtual network?

    Answer: Service endpoints / private endpoints

    Service endpoints and private endpoints limit storage account access to specified virtual networks.

  5. What is the benefit of lifecycle management policies in Azure Blob Storage?

    Answer: They automatically move or delete blobs based on rules to optimize cost

    Lifecycle management rules automatically transition or delete blobs to reduce storage costs over time.

  6. Which storage account replication option provides the highest durability across regions and zones?

    Answer: GZRS

    GZRS offers the highest durability by combining zone redundancy with geo-replication to a secondary region.

  7. Which scenario best fits using Azure Files instead of Azure Blob Storage?

    Answer: Lift-and-shift of an app needing a shared network drive

    Azure Files is ideal for replacing on-premises file shares when migrating apps that need a mounted network drive.
