    The following procedure will help

    1. Set a default blob tier as Hot, where you can receive the 30K files on a daily basis
    2. Move data to a non-default tier in 45 Days/3 Years by using the Azure Blob Storage Life Cycle
      Under the storage account > Data management, select Lifecycle Management. Add separate rules as follows, for Cool as well as Archive Tier data movements
