Azure Blob Storage - automatically move to Archive storage tier

Question

Is there a feature in Azure to move blobs in Hot/Cool tiers to Archive automatically if they haven't been used in a period of time?

For example, if I have a blob stored in Archive, I access it by rehydrating it to Hot/Cool. Once I am done, is there a way Azure can automatically downtier it?

Answer 1

Moving to another tier not accessed blobs is possible using native functionality but for the moment this is limited to France Central, Canada East, and Canada Central as the feature is in preview.

In order to use the Last accessed option, select Access tracking enabled on the Lifecycle Management page in the Azure portal.

And then define a rule based on the Last accessed
