Question

SIMULATION -Click to expand each objective. To connect to the Azure portal, type https://portal. azure. com in the browser address bar. When you are finished performing all the tasks, click the `˜Next' button. Note that you cannot return to the lab once you click the `˜Next' button. Scoring occur in the background while you complete the rest of the exam. Overview -The following section of the exam is a lab. In this section, you will perform a set of tasks in a live environment. While most functionality will be available to you as it would be in a live environment, some functionality (e. g. , copy and paste, ability to navigate to external websites) will not be possible by design. Scoring is based on the outcome of performing the tasks stated in the lab. In other words, it doesn't matter how you accomplish the task, if you successfully perform it, you will earn credit for that task. Labs are not timed separately, and this exam may have more than one lab that you must complete. You can use as much time as you would like to complete each lab. But, you should manage your time appropriately to ensure that you are able to complete the lab(s) and all other sections of the exam in the time provided. Please note that once you submit your work by clicking the Next button within a lab, you will NOT be able to return to the lab. To start the lab -You may start the lab by clicking the Next button. You plan to migrate a large amount of corporate data to Azure Storage and to back up files stored on old hardware to Azure Storage. You need to create a storage account named corpdatalod7523690n2, in the corpdatalod7523690 resource group. The solution must meet the following requirements: corpdatalod7523690n2 must be able to host the virtual disk files for Azure virtual machinesThe cost of accessing the files must be minimizedReplication costs must be minimizedWhat should you do from the Azure portal?

See solution below.
Step 1: In the Azure portal, click All services. In the list of resources, type Storage Accounts. As you begin typing, the list filters based on your input. SelectStorage Accounts. Step 2: On the Storage Accounts window that appears, choose Add. Step 3: Select the subscription in which to create the storage account. Step 4: Under the Resource group field, select corpdatalod7523690. Step 5: Enter a name for your storage account: corpdatalod7523690n2Step 6: For Account kind select: General-purpose v2 accounts (recommended for most scenarios)General-purpose v2 accounts is recommended for most scenarios. General-purpose v2 accounts deliver the lowest per-gigabyte capacity prices for AzureStorage, as well as industry-competitive transaction prices. Step 7: For replication select: Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) maximizes availability for your storage account. RA-GRS provides read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to geo-replication across two regions.

The cost of accessing the files must be minimized <-- Hot Tier
Replication costs must be minimized <-- LRS

MichaelCWWong · Answer

LRS should be chosen as replication option because one of requirement is to minimize replication cost.

oshoparsi · Answer

it should be cold tier since the nature of the files are backup of old hard drives ... so not frequent access is needed. hot tier is for frequent access.

The correct properties for the new storage account should be: Replication LRS, Tier Hot.

Create a Storage Account with LRS Replication, Advanced -> Blob Access Tier: Hot -> Create. Then go to Containers, create a container and a blob. Here in containers we can add a VHD file (Unmanaged Disks)

Stephan99 · Answer

Answer is correct.
Requirement is "large amount of corporate data".
LRS is the lowest-cost redundancy option and offers the least durability compared to other options. LRS protects your data against server rack and drive failures. 
However, if a disaster such as fire or flooding occurs within the data center, all replicas of a storage account using LRS may be lost or unrecoverable. 
To mitigate this risk, Microsoft recommends using zone-redundant storage (ZRS), geo-redundant storage (GRS), or geo-zone-redundant storage (GZRS).

Stephan99 · Answer

Locally-redundant storage:
Locally redundant storage (LRS) replicates your data three times within a single physical location in the primary region. LRS provides at least 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability of objects over a given year.
