Azure Blob Access Tiers

Azure Blob Storage offers different access tiers—Hot, Cool, and Archive—to manage costs and performance based on your data usage patterns. The Hot tier is designed for frequently accessed data, providing the lowest access latency and higher storage costs. The Cool tier is suitable for infrequently accessed data, offering lower storage costs but higher access latency compared to the Hot tier. The Archive tier is intended for rarely accessed data that can tolerate higher latency, providing the lowest storage costs with higher access costs and retrieval times. By using Azure Blob Access Tiers, organizations can optimize their storage costs by aligning data storage with access patterns, ensuring that they only pay for the performance and availability they need.
