Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 Practice Question

Your healthcare company must archive high-resolution medical image files, each about 500 MB, that are uploaded from on-premises PACS servers by using SFTP. The uploading software cannot be modified. Compliance requires every file to be stored in a write-once, read-many (WORM) state for seven years. After the first 30 days, the images are rarely accessed, and the business wants to minimize ongoing storage costs while still being able to retrieve any file within several hours. Which Azure storage approach should you recommend to meet all requirements with the least operational effort?

  • Provision Azure NetApp Files, expose an NFS volume for SFTP access, and rely on Azure Backup to keep seven years of read-only snapshots.

  • Attach Azure managed disks to a Linux VM running an SFTP server and protect the disks with Azure Site Recovery for long-term retention.

  • Create an Azure Storage account with hierarchical namespace enabled, enable SFTP, store the images in a blob container with a seven-year immutable time-based retention policy, add a lifecycle rule to move blobs to the cool tier after 30 days and to the archive tier after they have been cool for 60 additional days.

  • Deploy a Premium Azure Files share secured by SMB over VPN, then schedule an Azure Function to copy files to a separate cool-tier storage account after 30 days.
