You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Storage account.

You plan to implement changes to a data storage solution to meet regulatory and compliance standards.

Every day, Azure needs to identify and delete blobs that were NOT modified during the last 100 days.

Solution: You schedule an Azure Data Factory pipeline.

Does this meet the goal?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Scheduling an Azure Data Factory pipeline to delete blobs based on their last modified date does not directly address the requirement to meet regulatory and compliance standards. Instead, using an Azure Blob storage lifecycle policy is more appropriate. Lifecycle management policies are specifically designed to help manage data by automatically performing actions such as deleting data that meets certain conditions, which aligns better with the goal of identifying and deleting blobs not modified in the last 100 days. Azure Blob storage lifecycle policy is a native feature for such data management tasks, ensuring better regulatory and compliance adherence.

I also think "yes": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/delete-activity#clean-up-the-expired-files-that-were-last-modified-before-201811 "You can create a pipeline to clean up the old or expired files by leveraging file attribute filter: “LastModified” in dataset." And it uses blob files: "dataset": { "referenceName":"BlobFilesLastModifiedBefore201811", ... }
