Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 51

You plan to archive 10 TB of on-premises data files to Azure.
You need to recommend a data archival solution. The solution must minimize the cost of storing the data files.
Which Azure Storage account type should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Standard StorageV2 (general purpose v2), as it offers a cost-effective solution for archiving data, especially for large amounts of data like 10 TB. The other options, A, C, and D, either involve higher costs or are not optimized for archival purposes, making them less suitable for minimizing storage expenses.
