Determine the storage tier

Blob storage is an object store used for storing vast amounts of unstructured data.

Tier	Storage Costs	Retrieval Costs	Storage Duration	Usage Cases
Premium	High	Lowest	N/A	- High throughput and large numbers of I/O operations per second.
Hot	Medium	Low	N/A	- Active and frequent use. - Data staged for processing.
Cool	Low	Medium	> 30 days	- Short-term backup. - Older media infrequently viewed. - Large data sets.
Archive	Lowest	High	> 180 days	- Long-term backup. - Original (raw) data. - Compliance or archival data.

• Use lifecycle rules to transition blob data to the appropriate access tiers.
• Consider a data lifecycle rule to expire or delete data.
