Blob Storage (1 / 24):

The organization DataGenix has developed a machine-learning model for the predictive maintenance of industrial machinery. The model runs periodically and stores the predictive results in Blob storage. Additionally, it stores sensor data from the machinery in a separate container. The predictive results are frequently accessed for immediate action and need to be available within minutes. The sensor data is primarily used for compliance and can be accessed less frequently. What would be the optimal access tier for storing Predictive Results and Sensor Data?

Options:

Predictive Results – Archive access tier, Sensor Data – Cool access tier
Predictive Results – Hot access tier, Sensor Data – Archive access tier
Predictive Results – Cool access tier, Sensor Data – Archive access tier
Predictive Results – Hot access tier, Sensor Data – Cool access tier

Answer:

Predictive Results: Both Hot and Cool tiers are instantly available (within minutes), but the Hot tier is optimized for frequently accessed data. Anything needing less than an hour that doesn’t need frequent access could be put in Cool.
Sensor Data: Both Cool and Archive are suitable for less frequently accessed data. Since the question mentions no requirement for instant access and asks for optimal (cost-effective), Archive tier is more suitable.
