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 of setting the Access tier for File1 to Hot will meet the stated goal of ensuring that the file is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated.
Explanation:
Azure Storage offers three access tiers for blob storage: Hot, Cool, and Archive. The access tier determines the cost of storage and the frequency of data access. The Hot access tier provides the lowest latency access to data, but at a higher cost compared to the Cool and Archive access tiers. The Archive access tier is the least expensive, but has the longest access time.
In this scenario, the two data files File1 and File2 are both set to use the Archive access tier. This means that the files are stored at a lower cost, but with the tradeoff of a longer access time.
To ensure that File1 is accessible immediately when a retrieval request is initiated, the Access tier for File1 needs to be set to Hot. The Hot access tier provides immediate access to the data, but at a higher cost compared to the Archive access tier.
Therefore, the solution of setting the Access tier for File1 to Hot will meet the goal of ensuring immediate access to the file.
