Hello,
How we can create azure blob storage with archive tier on existing azure storage account? And how we can verify what tier used in existing blob ?
Hi,
You can set a blob to Archive tier at the time you upload it to your storage account. Below is screenshot of uploading via the portal:
To verify tier of existing blob, browse to the list of blobs inside of a container, as shown:

Hello,
My access tier is empty, what this mean?
Access tier isn't supported for Page blobs and Append blobs, so that is why it is empty.
How we can create a new blob storage in existing storage account? If we create container this mean we create blob storage?
How we can create a new blob storage in existing storage account? If we create container this mean we create blob storage?
I'm unsure what you mean. You can create a new container if you want, and upload blobs to it, or you can upload additional blobs to your existing container, or you can do both.

Hello Handian Sudianto,
Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.
As Archive Storage Tier is only available for individual blobs it enables tier selection on Blob level for the old existing hot or cold tier also. When you create the storage account, you can select between Hot or Cool tier only and cannot set to Archive tier. After uploading the files, blob properties from Azure portal will allow you to select a blob and change its tier to Hot/Cool/Archive. refer - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/archive-blob?tabs=azure-portal.
Also Archive tier is available only in mentioned regions please refer - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/explore/global-infrastructure/products-by-region/?products=storage®ions=all.
If you need to change the tier of entire blob, following instructions will help out
Sign in to the Azure portal.
To navigate to your blob in your storage account, select All Resources, select your storage account, select your container, and then select your blob.
In the Blob properties, click the Access tier dropdown menu to select the Hot, Cool, or Archive storage tier.
Click Save to save the changes

The Archive tier is not available for all types of blobs. It’s specifically designed for data that is rarely accessed and has flexible latency requirements (on the order of hours).The Archive tier is only supported for Block Blobs. It is not available for Append Blobs or Page Blobs.
