You have an Azure Storage account that contains two 1-GB data files named File1 and File2. The data files are set to use the archive access tier.
You need to ensure that File1 is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
Solution: For File1, you set Access tier to Cool.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Setting the Access tier of File1 to Cool does not meet the goal of immediate accessibility since it still requires a rehydration period. Files in the Archive tier need to be moved to Hot or Cool before they can be accessed, meaning that changing to Cool does not allow for immediate access.
