Microsoft Azure Architect Design (legacy) — Question 59

You use Azure Application Insights.
You plan to use continuous export.
You need to store Application Insights data for five years.
Which Azure service should you use?

Answer options

• A. Azure SQL Database
• B. Azure Storage
• C. Azure Monitor Logs
• D. Azure Backup

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is Azure Storage, as it provides a cost-effective and scalable option for storing large amounts of data over extended periods, such as five years. Azure SQL Database is not ideal for this purpose due to potential limitations in scalability and cost. Azure Monitor Logs is primarily for querying and analyzing logs rather than long-term storage, while Azure Backup is designed for backing up existing resources rather than storing continuous data exports.
