The exact change

Storage decisions make up a meaningful share of AZ-104 content. [uncited-precision stat softened] [...] A common real-world pattern: IoT telemetry from industrial sensors stored in Hot for the first thirty days... [named-company case study generalized, appears twice in article, both instances fixed] [...] Storage tiering is one of the cheapest cost optimizations many customers never implement... [de-attributed] [...] Disabling Shared Key on all production storage accounts is a common step in zero-trust hardening projects at large retailers and enterprises generally. [named-company claim generalized] [...] Industrial IoT telemetry: data into Hot... [...] Retail analytics data lake: a data lake on StorageV2... [...] CMK adoption is generally considered the default recommendation for any regulated workload... [de-attributed]
Suggested change
Softened 1 fabricated-precision statistic, generalized 2 fabricated named-company case studies, and de-attributed 2 fabricated named-executive quotes to plain prose.
Why this is better
Softened an uncited 'Microsoft estimates... fifteen percent' statistic to a qualitative statement. Generalized a recurring fabricated Heineken IoT brewery case study and a recurring fabricated ASOS case study (each appearing twice in the article, both instances of each fixed) with no locatable source. De-attributed a fabricated quote credited to Anavi Nahar (real Microsoft PM, but this specific quote unsourced) and a fabricated claim credited to Mark Russinovich, both with no locatable source.
