Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question

Azure Blob Lifecycle Management enables administrators to define rules that automate moving blobs between access tiers (Hot, Cool, Archive) based on conditions like age or last modification date. It also allows for automatic deletion of blobs when they meet specified criteria. This helps optimize storage costs by efficiently managing the data lifecycle without manual intervention.

Azure Blob Versioning maintains previous versions of blobs but doesn't automate tiering or deletion based on rules. Azure Blob Soft Delete protects blobs from accidental deletion but doesn't move blobs between tiers or delete them automatically after a period. Azure Blob Snapshots create read-only versions of blobs at a point in time but don't offer automated management based on lifecycle policies.
