Common exam traps

Where candidates lose marks on Implement and Manage Storage

⚠Selecting the most expensive service when a simpler managed option meets the requirement.
⚠Forgetting that cloud resources must be explicitly secured — defaults are rarely secure.
⚠Choosing a global service fix when the issue is region-specific.
⚠Overlooking cost implications of cross-region data transfer in architecture questions.

AZ-104 Implement and Manage Storage — Practice Questions

A business-critical application uses an Azure storage account. The company requires that data remain available even if an entire Azure region becomes unavailable. Which redundancy option should you choose?

A partner needs temporary read-only access to a single blob in a storage account for the next 24 hours. The partner must not be able to list other blobs or write data. What should you provide?

You have a storage account named stlogs01. An application running on VM-App01 in Azure must access blobs in the account without storing account keys in code or configuration files. What should you use?

You need to grant an external partner temporary read access to a single blob in an Azure storage account without giving access to the account key. What should you create?

You have a storage account that stores infrequently accessed data that must remain available immediately when requested. You need to minimize storage costs. Which access tier should you use?

A company uses Azure Blob Storage for legal documents. The documents must not be modified or deleted for seven years after upload, even by administrators. What should you configure?

A storage account hosts blobs used by a public website. You need to reduce the risk of accidental deletion by developers while allowing updates to existing blobs. What should you configure?

You need to allow a partner application to upload files to a blob container for the next 24 hours. The partner must not receive the storage account key. What should you provide?

Users in Branch01 access an Azure file share over SMB. Performance is poor because frequently used files are downloaded repeatedly across the WAN. You need to keep a local cache on a Windows Server in Branch01 while keeping Azure Files as the central file share. What should you deploy?

You plan to store backup files that are written once per week and are rarely accessed except during an audit. The company wants the lowest storage cost but still needs online access within hours, not days. Which blob access tier should you choose?

You need to create a storage account that provides the lowest-cost redundant storage for non-critical data and only needs protection against local disk or server failure within a single datacenter. Which redundancy option should you choose?

Your company stores monthly reports in Azure Blob Storage. The reports are rarely accessed, but when needed they must be read within seconds rather than hours. You need to minimize storage cost while preserving near-immediate availability. Which access tier should you use?

You need to synchronize an on-premises Windows file server with an Azure file share so that branch offices can continue using the local server while keeping cloud-based copies of the files. Which service should you configure?

Your application stores compliance documents in Azure Blob Storage. The documents must be kept in a write-once-read-many state for five years and must not be altered or removed during that time. What should you configure?

You need a storage redundancy option that keeps data available if an entire availability zone in the primary region fails, but you do not need cross-region replication. Which redundancy option should you choose?

You need to move infrequently accessed blob data automatically from the Hot tier to the Cool tier after 30 days to reduce cost. What should you configure?

Your application stores compliance records in Azure Blob Storage. The records must remain in a write-once-read-many state for three years and must not be altered or deleted during that period. What should you configure?

You need to allow recovery of previous versions of files stored in an Azure file share after accidental modification or deletion. Which feature should you configure?

You store long-term financial statements in Azure Blob Storage. The files are almost never accessed, but when they are needed they must be readable immediately without waiting for rehydration. You need to minimize cost. Which access tier should you use?

You need to choose a storage redundancy option that provides the lowest cost and protects data against local hardware failure within a single datacenter only. Which redundancy option should you select?

You need to give a third-party auditor temporary read-only access to specific blobs in a container without sharing the storage account keys. Which feature should you use?

Your application stores regulatory records in Azure Blob Storage. The records must remain in a write-once-read-many state for four years and must not be altered or deleted during that time. What should you configure?

A user deleted one Excel file from a file share backed up with Azure Backup. You want to restore only that file, not the entire share. What should you use?

Based on the exhibit, which method should the administrator use to grant the partner time-limited access to one container?

Before changing a managed data disk attached to a VM, you want a point-in-time copy that can be restored later if the change fails. What should you create?

An application writes transaction logs to a storage account in a region that supports availability zones. The business wants the account to stay available if one datacenter or zone fails, but it does not need a secondary region replica. Which redundancy option should you choose?

Match each blob tier or protection feature to the correct description.

Based on the exhibit, what should the administrator do to prevent anyone from changing the retention settings after validation?

Exhibit

A web app running in Azure App Service must read blobs from a storage account. The app must authenticate without storing secrets or SAS tokens, and administrators should grant only blob data permissions, not storage management permissions. What should you configure?
