Lifecycle management policies are supported for block blobs and append blobs in general-purpose v2, premium block blob, and Blob Storage accounts. Lifecycle management doesn't affect system containers such as the $logs or $web containers.

I think you missed the difference between Blobs and Block blobs. 1. Yes 2. No - configuration is for Block Blobs and not for blob 3. No - configuration is for Block Blobs and not for blob 4. Yes - because of delete property

The scenario is about premium block blobs, so blobs can only be block blobs here

So for me its Yes: 60 Days( BlockBlobs with container1/salesorder or container2/salesorder) NO : 120 Days (Mentions Blobs in general. where append blobs will not move as rule is for blockBlob) NO: 30 Days (Mentions Blobs in general . where append blobs will not move as rule is for blockBlob) NO: Auto move to hot (Mentions Blobs in general . where append blobs will not move as rule is for blockBlob) NO: 730 (rule is daysAfterModified not all blockBlobs) Reference: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-overview "Premium block blobs3 Blob Storage (including Data Lake Storage1) Premium storage account type for block blobs and append blobs. Recommended for scenarios with high transaction rates or that use smaller objects or require consistently low storage latency. Learn more about example workloads."

Justification/correction for above: Premium Block Blob account can have append blobs as well, all the statements except first and last says blob and not blockBlob, where all the filters are related to blockBlob. Since the first and last statement mentions blockBlob explicitly that mean it needs to be considered. YES 4: auto move to hot as only block blobs are going to cool so that means all the blobs in cool will go to hot

4 is Yes. Per the Microsoft docs "Some data is expected to expire days or months after creation. You can configure a lifecycle management policy to expire data by deletion based on data age. The following example shows a policy that deletes all block blobs older than 365 days." "actions": { "baseBlob": { "delete": { "daysAfterModificationGreaterThan": 365 } } } https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview?tabs=azure-portal#move-aging-data-to-a-cooler-tier

It actually says "The following example shows a policy that deletes all block blobs that haven't been MODIFIED in the last 365 days." Not "older than".

The baseBlob element in a lifecycle management policy refers to the current version of a blob. The version element refers to a previous version.

As of Oct2023, premium block blob storage account is not yet supported for tiering. This is a tricky question, just because you see a code doesn't mean it will work. All answers are "No", unless the premium block blob storage account becomes available in the future. (If that's happen, I believe No.4 would still be no, due to the delete rule requirements) Reference: Search the note for premium block blob storage account. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/lifecycle-management-overview

All of the answers should be "No" according to this paragraph in the docs: "Data stored in a premium block blob storage account cannot be tiered to hot, cool, cold or archive by using Set Blob Tier or using Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management. To move data, you must synchronously copy blobs from the block blob storage account to the hot tier in a different account using the Put Block From URL API or a version of AzCopy that supports this API" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview#blob-lifecycle-management

Answer should be : No, No ,No, No The key is that this is premium storage account and moving between tiers are not supported using lifecycle management policy. I tested it by creating a premium storage account with the blob type as block blob. In the life cycle management window for adding rules in the portal, I only see option to delete the blob. No option to move to different tiers.

I tested too and Premium Block Blob Storage Account only accept Delete lifecycle, not tierToCool neither tierToArchive. The documentation says 1-NO, 2-NO, 3-NO "Data stored in a premium block blob storage account cannot be tiered to hot, cool, cold or archive by using Set Blob Tier or using Azure Blob Storage lifecycle management. To move data, you must synchronously copy blobs from the block blob storage account to the hot tier in a different account using the Put Block From URL API or a version of AzCopy that supports this API." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview
