You have an Azure Storage account that contains two 1-GB data files named File1 and File2. The data files are set to use the archive access tier.
You need to ensure that File1 is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
Solution: For File1, you set Access tier to Hot.
Does this meet the goal?

A. B.A
The hot access tier has higher storage costs than cool and archive tiers, but the lowest access costs. Example usage scenarios for the hot access tier include:
-> Data that's in active use or expected to be accessed (read from and written to) frequently.
-> Data that's staged for processing and eventual migration to the cool access tier.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blob-storage-tiersThe solution provided will meet the goal of making File1 accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
The access tier of an Azure Storage account determines how frequently the data can be accessed and the cost of storing and accessing the data. There are three access tiers for blob storage: Hot, Cool, and Archive. The Hot access tier is for frequently accessed data and has the highest cost, while the Archive access tier is for rarely accessed data and has the lowest cost.
In this scenario, both File1 and File2 are set to use the Archive access tier, which means that they are stored in a lower-cost storage tier and may experience a delay of several hours before becoming available when a retrieval request is initiated.
By setting the access tier of File1 to Hot, the data is moved to a higher-cost storage tier and will be immediately available when a retrieval request is initiated. However, this will also increase the cost of storing and accessing the data.
Therefore, the provided solution of setting the access tier of File1 to Hot will meet the goal of making File1 accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated, but it will also result in increased storage and access costs.
