Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company stores compliance-sensitive documents in an Azure Storage account. Regulations state that, after a blob is written, no user (including account owners) may modify or delete it for at least seven years, but administrators must retain the ability to create or remove whole containers when projects end. Which configuration change best satisfies the requirement with the least ongoing management effort?
Configure Azure Backup to protect the storage account with a seven-year retention vault policy.
Enable blob versioning and rely on automatic version retention for seven years.
Enable blob soft delete on the storage account and set the retention period to seven years.
Enable immutable storage on the container and set a time-based retention policy of seven years.
Only an immutable storage policy with a time-based retention period prevents any overwrite or delete operations on blobs for the specified duration while still allowing container-level administration tasks. Soft delete and blob versioning let users overwrite data and simply provide recovery options, so they do not enforce true write-once compliance. Backup policies protect against loss but do not block modification or deletion operations on the live data.
