AZ-104 Azure - Configuring Blob Lifecycle Management

Lifecycle Management Concepts 

 

 Azure Blob Storage service feature that enables automation to manage lifecycle operations of blobs. 

 

 Automate blob lifecycle: Easily manage blob life-cycles from frequent use to archive or deletion 

 Move access tiers: Switch blobs between tiers to meet access or usage needs. 

 Optimize cost: Save money by decreasing admin overhead and tiering blobs based on usage requirements. 

 

 

   

 Let's add random files to our container and add a lifecycle rule 

   

 

   

   

 

 

 

 we can also specify a filter to modify only those inside our testcontainer/folder  

 

 Now after 30 days all our blobs will move from hot to cold. 

   

 

 Storage accounts: Support GPv2 storage accounts and blob storage accounts. 

 Types and Sub-types: Support block and append blobs and support sub-types such as based blobs snapshots and versions. 

 Filtering: filter blobs in the rule using prefix or blob index matches. 

 Scoping: Scope at the storage account or limit blobs with filters. 

 If/Then Logic: Uses logic in lifecycle rules to move blobs through access tiers based on modification and access times.
