For immediate access to archived data in Azure Blob storage, which Access tier should be set to achieve that rather than Archive?

Hot
Cool
Premium
Cool and Hot

The correct answer is: Hot

For immediate access to archived data in Azure Blob storage, the Hot access tier is the appropriate choice. The Hot tier is designed for data that is accessed frequently, providing low latency and high throughput for read operations. This makes it ideal for scenarios where data needs to be readily available without delay. The other options, while they serve specific purposes, do not provide the same level of immediate access. The Cool tier is optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and has lower storage costs, but it still doesn’t offer the instant retrieval that the Hot tier does. Premium storage is tailored for high-performance workloads and involves different performance characteristics focused on specific use cases, like virtual machines, rather than general blob storage access. The Cool and Hot designation would imply a mixed approach but wouldn’t deliver the sole focus provided by the Hot tier itself for immediate access. Therefore, setting the Access tier to Hot ensures that the data can be accessed swiftly as needed.
