Microsoft Azure Developer Associate AZ-204 Practice Question
Your team wants to rely solely on Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management to optimize costs by moving log files among the Hot, Cool, and Archive access tiers. Before configuring the policy, you need to identify a capability that the service does not provide. Which statement correctly describes a limitation of lifecycle management in Azure Blob Storage?
Lifecycle management executes actions immediately after you save a policy, typically within minutes.
Lifecycle management cannot automatically rehydrate blobs that are in the Archive tier back to the Hot or Cool tier; that operation must be invoked manually.
Lifecycle management can be applied only to block blobs and cannot target append blobs or blob snapshots.
Lifecycle management rules must be authored in YAML files rather than JSON.
Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management can move data from Hot to Cool and from Cool to Archive based on rule conditions, but it does not support automatically moving (rehydrating) data from the Archive tier back to a warmer tier. Rehydration must be triggered manually or through separate automation that explicitly changes the blob's access tier. Policies are defined in JSON, run once per day, and can target both block blobs and append blobs (including snapshots and versions). Therefore, the correct statement is that automatic rehydration from Archive is not supported; the other options describe capabilities or behaviors that are inaccurate.
