Manage Lifecycle Policies¶
Automate data transitions based on age and access patterns.

| Tier to Cold | Cold Tier | Age > 90 days. |
| Tier to Archive | Archive Tier | Age > 180 days. |

Policy Validation Checklist¶
- Target filters by prefix, blob type, and tags.
- Validate rule order and age thresholds.
- Confirm archive rehydration impact for recovery workflows.
- Exclude critical data from destructive rules.
- Review costs after tier transitions and retrieval operations.
- Track policy execution with storage metrics and logs.
