Designing an Azure Data Solution (legacy) — Question 53

You are planning a solution that combines log data from multiple systems. The log data will be downloaded from an API and stored in a data store.
You plan to keep a copy of the raw data as well as some transformed versions of the data. You expect that there will be at least 2 TB of log files. The data will be used by data scientists and applications.
You need to recommend a solution to store the data in Azure. The solution must minimize costs.
What storage solution should you recommend?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 is specifically designed for big data analytics, allowing you to efficiently store large amounts of data at a lower cost compared to other options. Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL Database, and Azure Cosmos DB are more suited for structured data and transactional workloads, which makes them less cost-effective for storing large volumes of raw log data.
