Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account, then define a lifecycle management rule with conditions and actions, then apply the rule to the account, then verify data movement.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must have a storage account before you can define and apply lifecycle management rules. The rule must be defined with conditions (e.g., age thresholds) and actions (move to cool, then archive) before it is applied to the account scope. Verification ensures the policy works as intended.
- ✗
Define a lifecycle management rule, then create an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account, then apply the rule, then verify data movement.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot define a lifecycle management rule without an existing storage account. The rule is specific to a storage account and must be created after account provisioning.
- ✗
Create Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account, then apply a lifecycle management rule, then define the rule conditions and actions, then verify data movement.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because applying a rule requires the rule to already be defined. You cannot apply a rule without first defining its conditions and actions.
- ✗
Define a lifecycle management rule, then apply it to the account, then create the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account, then verify data movement.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the storage account must exist before any rule can be defined or applied. Defining and applying a rule to a non-existent account is not possible.
