Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You manage an Azure general-purpose v2 storage account used by an application that overwrites the same block blobs several times each day. Auditors require that any previous version of a blob remain recoverable for 90 days, while certain audit containers must prevent any deletion or modification for seven years. Which configuration meets both requirements with the least administrative effort?
Configure point-in-time restore for the storage account and enable soft delete for container deletes.
Enable blob versioning, create a lifecycle management rule to delete previous versions after 90 days, and configure an immutability policy (time-based) of seven years on the required containers.
Enable blob soft delete with a 90-day retention period and an immutability policy (time-based) of seven years on the required containers.
Enable blob snapshots in the application code and use Azure Backup to protect the containers for seven years.
Blob versioning automatically preserves every version of a blob when it is overwritten or deleted, so older content can be restored. A lifecycle management rule can delete versions older than 90 days to control costs. An immutable storage time-based retention policy applied to the designated containers locks data for the specified seven-year period, blocking deletes or updates until the retention interval expires. Together, these two settings satisfy both the 90-day recovery and the seven-year immutability requirements. Soft delete retains only a single prior copy per blob, snapshots require application changes and ongoing management, and point-in-time restore does not provide multi-year immutability.
