The answer is yes, because the ARM template sets minimumTlsVersion to TLS1_2, which enforces TLS 1.2 as the minimum version for all client connections to the storage account. This property explicitly overrides the default behavior, ensuring that any request using TLS 1.0 or 1.1 is rejected, thereby meeting the security audit requirement. On the AZ-204 exam, this concept tests your understanding of Azure Storage security settings within ARM templates, often appearing alongside the supportsHttpsTrafficOnly property—a common trap is confusing HTTPS enforcement with TLS version control. Remember, supportsHttpsTrafficOnly only forces HTTPS protocol, not the specific TLS version, so always look for the minimumTlsVersion property to satisfy a TLS 1.2 mandate. A quick memory tip: “TLS version is set by minimumTlsVersion, not by HTTPS-only.”
AZ-204 Practice Question: Connect to and consume Azure services and third-party services
This AZ-204 practice question tests your understanding of connect to and consume azure services and third-party services. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Refer to the exhibit. You are reviewing an ARM template for a storage account. A security audit requires that all storage accounts enforce TLS 1.2 or higher. Does this configuration meet the requirement?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Yes, because minimumTlsVersion is set to TLS1_2
The property 'minimumTlsVersion' is set to 'TLS1_2', which enforces TLS 1.2 as the minimum version. This meets the requirement. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the property exists and is set correctly. Option C is wrong because the property is indeed supported for StorageV2. Option D is wrong because 'supportsHttpsTrafficOnly' is about HTTPS, not TLS version.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
No, because supportsHttpsTrafficOnly does not enforce TLS version
Why it's wrong here
supportsHttpsTrafficOnly enforces HTTPS, not TLS version.
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
No, because minimumTlsVersion is not a valid property
Why it's wrong here
It is a valid property for storage accounts.
✗
No, because the property should be minimumTlsVersion: "1.2"
Why it's wrong here
The correct value is 'TLS1_2'.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.

Variation 1. Refer to the exhibit. You executed the Azure CLI command to create a storage account. Later, you attempt to connect from an application that uses TLS 1.1. The connection fails. What is the most likely reason?
medium
A.The storage account uses Standard_GRS replication which is not accessible from all clients
B.The storage account is in a different location than the client
C.The storage account kind is StorageV2 which does not support blobs
✓ D.The minimum TLS version is set to 1.2, blocking TLS 1.1
Why D: The '--min-tls-version 1.2' parameter sets the minimum TLS version to 1.2, so TLS 1.1 is rejected. Option A is wrong because Standard_GRS is geo-redundant storage, which is available. Option B is wrong because the kind StorageV2 supports blobs. Option D is wrong because the location eastus is valid.
