Azure Storage tiers
Azure offers three storage tiers for blob object storage:
Hot storage tier: optimized for storing data that is accessed frequently.
Cool storage tier: optimized for data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least 30 days.
Archive storage tier: for data that is rarely accessed and stored for at least 180 days with flexible latency requirements.
