The correct answer is the combination of `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly: true` and `minimumTlsVersion: TLS1_2`. These two properties work together to enforce a security baseline: `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` blocks any HTTP requests, ensuring all traffic is encrypted over HTTPS, while `minimumTlsVersion` set to `TLS1_2` rejects connections using older, vulnerable TLS versions like 1.0 or 1.1. On the AZ-305 exam, this tests your understanding of Azure Storage network security and how to translate compliance requirements into Bicep or ARM template properties. A common trap is assuming `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` alone covers TLS version enforcement—it does not, as HTTPS can technically run on older TLS versions. The exam often presents a scenario where you must select both properties to meet a strict security baseline. Memory tip: think "HTTPS locks the door, TLS 1.2 sets the lock strength"—you need both to keep the vault secure.
AZ-305 Practice Question: Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions
This AZ-305 practice question tests your understanding of design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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 a Bicep template for a storage account. You need to ensure that the storage account is only accessible via HTTPS and uses TLS 1.2. Which property validates this requirement?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
supportsHttpsTrafficOnly: true and minimumTlsVersion: TLS1_2
Option C is correct because the `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` property enforces that all traffic to the storage account must use HTTPS, and the `minimumTlsVersion` property set to `TLS1_2` ensures that only TLS 1.2 or higher is accepted. Together, these two properties satisfy the requirement of HTTPS-only access with TLS 1.2, as defined in the Azure Storage security baseline.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` with a simple boolean toggle and forget that `minimumTlsVersion` is a separate, required property to enforce the specific TLS version, leading them to select an option that only partially addresses the requirement.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Under the hood, `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` (also known as `enableHttpsTrafficOnly`) sets the `SupportsHttpsTrafficOnly` flag on the storage account, which rejects any HTTP requests at the network layer. The `minimumTlsVersion` property maps to the `MinimumTlsVersion` enum, which accepts values like `TLS1_0`, `TLS1_1`, or `TLS1_2`; setting it to `TLS1_2` forces the Azure front-end to negotiate only TLS 1.2 or higher, blocking older, less secure TLS versions. In a real-world scenario, failing to set both properties could leave the storage account vulnerable to downgrade attacks or non-compliant with regulatory standards like PCI DSS.

→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.

What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: supportsHttpsTrafficOnly: true and minimumTlsVersion: TLS1_2 — Option C is correct because the `supportsHttpsTrafficOnly` property enforces that all traffic to the storage account must use HTTPS, and the `minimumTlsVersion` property set to `TLS1_2` ensures that only TLS 1.2 or higher is accepted. Together, these two properties satisfy the requirement of HTTPS-only access with TLS 1.2, as defined in the Azure Storage security baseline.
