You have an Azure subscription.
Your on-premises network contains a file server named Server1. Server1 stores 5 TB of company files that are accessed rarely.
You plan to copy the files to Azure Storage.
You need to implement a storage solution for the files that meets the following requirements:
✑ The files must be available within 24 hours of being requested.
✑ Storage costs must be minimized.
Which two possible storage solutions achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Create a general-purpose v1 storage account. Create a blob container and copy the files to the blob container.

B. Create a general-purpose v2 storage account that is configured for the Hot default access tier. Create a blob container, copy the files to the blob container, and set each file to the Archive access tier.

C. Create a general-purpose v1 storage account. Create a file share in the storage account and copy the files to the file share.

D. Create a general-purpose v2 storage account that is configured for the Cool default access tier. Create a file share in the storage account and copy the files to the file share.

E. Create an Azure Blob storage account that is configured for the Cool default access tier. Create a blob container, copy the files to the blob container, and set each file to the Archive access tier.

Using a file share is cheaper than using a blob container.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Using a file share would be cheaper than using a Blob container.
B, E: The Archive tier is optimized for storing data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).
