False claims about Azure storage account blob storage tier considerations

Question

Hello together,

in the learning module "Describe Azure Storage Services" you have wrong considerations:

The following considerations apply to the different access tiers:

    Hot, cool, and cold access tiers can be set at the account level. The archive access tier isn't available at the account level.

This is wrong, the default tier can't be cold. Allowed are only Hot, Cool and Premium:

az storage account update --resource-group "rg-az305-we-dev-001" --name "stawoih5r3pf3" --access-tier Cold
az storage account update: 'Cold' is not a valid value for '--access-tier'. Allowed values: Hot, Cool, Premium.
Did you mean 'Cool' ?
Examples from AI knowledge base:
az storage account update --default-action Allow --name MyStorageAccount --resource-group MyResourceGroup
Update the properties of a storage account. (autogenerated)
