Explanations

Azure storage offers different access tiers: hot, cool and archive.

The archive access tier has the lowest storage cost. But it has higher data retrieval costs compared to the hot and cool tiers. Data in the archive tier can take several hours to retrieve.

While a blob is in archive storage, the blob data is offline and can't be read, overwritten, or modified. To read or download a blob in archive, you must first rehydrate it to an online tier.

Example usage scenarios for the archive access tier include:

-> Long-term backup, secondary backup, and archival datasets

-> Original (raw) data that must be preserved, even after it has been processed into final usable form.

-> Compliance and archival data that needs to be stored for a long time and is hardly ever accessed.
