Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question
Your company streams several terabytes of JSON diagnostics files from IoT devices each day. Compliance requires that the data be retained for seven years. Data scientists will run ad-hoc queries from Azure Synapse Analytics and must control access by using directory-level POSIX-style permissions. After the first month, the data is rarely accessed, so minimizing long-term storage cost is a priority. Which Azure storage solution should you recommend?
An Azure Storage account with hierarchical namespace enabled (Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2) using the Hot access tier
A standard Azure Blob Storage account without hierarchical namespace, configured for the Cool access tier
An Azure Storage account with hierarchical namespace enabled (Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2) using the Cool access tier
An Azure Cosmos DB account using the Core (SQL) API provisioned with 10,000 RU/s
A storage account with hierarchical namespace (Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2) supports POSIX access control lists that Azure Synapse can honor and lets analysts query the data directly. Placing the data in the Cool access tier cuts ongoing capacity costs while still allowing occasional access, which meets the requirement for infrequently accessed archival data. The Hot tier is more expensive for long-term retention, a non-hierarchical Blob storage account cannot apply directory-level ACLs, and Azure Cosmos DB is optimized for transactional workloads and would be significantly more expensive for multi-terabyte archive files.
