You have an Azure subscription.
Your on-premises network contains a file server named Server1. Server1 stores 5 TB of company files that are accessed rarely.
You plan to copy the files to Azure Storage.
You need to implement a storage solution for the files that meets the following requirements:
– The files must be available within 24 hours of being requested.
– Storage costs must be minimized.
Which two possible storage solutions achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A . Create a general-purpose v2 storage account that is set to the Cool access tier. Create a file share in the storage account and copy the files to the file share.
B . Create a general-purpose v2 storage account that is set to the Hot access tier. Create a blob container, copy the files to the blob container, and set each file to the Archive access tier.
C . Create a general-purpose v1 storage account. Create a file share in the storage account and copy the files to the file share.
D . Create an Azure Blob storage account that is set to the Cool access tier. Create a blob container, copy the files to the blob container, and set each file to the Archive access tier.
E . Create a general-purpose v1 storage account. Create a blob container and copy the files to the blob container.
Answer: AE
Explanation:
A: Azure storage offers different access tiers, which allow you to store blob object data in the most cost-effective manner.
The Cool access tier is optimized for storing data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
E: Using a file share is cheaper than using a blob container.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: The Archive tier is optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).
C: Using a Blob container would be cheaper than using a file share.
