The Step by Step Data Retention Policy in Azure Blob Storage
The lifecycle management policy lets you:
- Transition blobs to a cooler storage tier (hot to cool, hot to archive, or cool to archive) to optimize for performance and cost
- Delete blobs at the end of their lifecycles

- Apply rules to containers or a subset of blobs
