Question

Your organization stores compliance documents in Azure Blob Storage that must be retained for 7 years but are rarely accessed. To minimize costs, you moved 500 GB of blobs to the Archive tier last month. A legal team now needs immediate access to one of these archived documents. What must you do before the document can be downloaded?

Accepted Answer

Rehydrate the blob by changing its tier to Hot or Cool, which can take several hours

Answer

Enable public access on the storage account and share the blob URL with the legal team

Answer

Create a read-only SAS token with appropriate permissions for the archived blob

Answer

Move the blob to a different storage account that uses geo-redundant storage
