Managing Azure Storage: AZ-104 Lab 07 Review

Introduction As I continue my journey to becoming an Azure Administrator, I recently completed Lab 07 - Manage Azure Storage from the AZ-104 certification series. This lab focused on managing Azure Storage resources, including blobs and file shares, while exploring options to secure and optimize data storage for cost-efficiency and reliability. In this blog post, I document my learnings, key takeaways, and insights from the lab. Lab Overview This lab was designed to provide hands-on experience in creating and managing Azure Storage accounts, configuring secure blob containers, and working with Azure file shares. The scenario presented required organizing infrequently accessed data into lower-cost storage tiers and implementing security measures like network access, authentication, and authorization. Skills Practiced: ✅ Creating and configuring Azure Storage accounts ✅ Managing Azure Blob Storage and File Shares ✅ Implementing access controls for secure data management ✅ Configuring storage tiers for cost management ✅ Exploring redundancy and backup options Task 1: Creating and Configuring a Storage Account The first step involved setting up a geo-redundant Azure Storage account to manage blobs, files, queues, and tables. The key points I covered included: 1️⃣ Signed into the Azure portal – Azure Portal. 2️⃣ Created a new storage account in the East US region, selecting Geo-redundant storage (GRS) for high availability. 3️⃣ Configured the account to disable public access for enhanced security. 4️⃣ Implemented lifecycle management by setting a rule to move blobs older than 30 days to the cool storage tier, optimizing costs.
