DP-203 Design and implement data storage Practice Question
You need to design a storage solution for a data lake that will be used by multiple teams for analytics. The solution must support fine-grained access control, versioning of files, and integration with Azure Purview for data cataloging. Which THREE features should you enable in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse soft delete with versioning, but soft delete only recovers deleted blobs for a retention period, whereas versioning maintains all overwrites and deletes as separate versions for granular recovery and audit.
