Hosting on azure blob

Question

Hi,

I want to ask about azure blob storage policy? For example I have 10TB available can I save files of 1TB size for 3 years and does it have a policy to delete itself after 3 years or do I have to do it manually. Otherwise what is the maximum storage policy that I can save on azure blob.

Regards.

Answer 1

Blob files won't get deleted automatically. You can save files as long as you want. You will have to delete them manually when needed or they can be deleted once the lifecycle has ended based on the - Lifecycle management rule created.

If you want them to be deleted automatically, you can explore lifecycle management rules to move the blob to different tiers
