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?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Blob soft delete

Soft delete aids recovery but does not enforce WORM retention.

B

Best answer

Immutable blob storage with a time-based retention policy

This enforces write-once-read-many protection for the specified period.

C

Distractor review

Lifecycle management to move data to Archive

Lifecycle rules optimize cost and placement, not immutability.

D

Distractor review

A shared access signature

A SAS delegates access and does not enforce retention.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Immutable blob storage with a time-based retention policy — Immutable blob storage with a time-based retention policy provides WORM protection for the required retention period. Soft delete and versioning do not enforce the same immutability requirement.
