What feature of Azure Blob Storage, if enabled, allows you to retrieve files that have previously been deleted within a time period?
  • A Change Feed
  • B Soft Delete
  • C Azure Policy
  • D Immutable blobs
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

A. Change Feed is not the correct choice for this scenario. Change Feed provides a persistent record of changes that occur to a blob, but it does not specifically enable the retrieval of deleted files within a time period.

B. Soft Delete is the correct choice as it allows you to recover files that have been deleted within a specified time period. This feature helps prevent accidental data loss by keeping deleted files in a recoverable state for a set duration before permanently removing them.

C. Azure Policy is not the correct choice for this situation. Azure Policy is used to enforce rules and actions for resources in an Azure subscription, such as compliance requirements or governance policies. It does not directly enable the retrieval of deleted files within a time period in Azure Blob Storage.

D. Immutable blobs do not relate to the ability to retrieve deleted files within a time period. Immutable blobs ensure that once data is written to a blob, it cannot be modified or deleted during a specified retention period, providing data protection against tampering.
