Covers tiers, access tiers, redundancy.
Performs Azure Blob Storage operations using @azure/storage-blob SDK in TypeScript/JavaScript: upload/download/list/manage blobs and containers; supports block/append/page blobs, SAS tokens, streaming.
Client library for Azure Blob Storage — upload, download, list blobs, manage containers, and handle blob lifecycle using Python.

| Tier | Use Case | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | General purpose, backup | Milliseconds |
| Premium | Databases, high IOPS | Sub-millisecond |
| Tier | Access Frequency | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Hot | Frequent | Higher storage, lower access |
| Cool | Infrequent (30+ days) | Lower storage, higher access |
| Cold | Rare (90+ days) | Lower still |
| Archive | Rarely (180+ days) | Lowest storage, rehydration required |
| Type | Durability | Use Case |
