Azure Archive Blob Storage
Hey folks, Azure Archive Blob Storage has been in public preview for a week now and it is a great storage solution for long-term archiving corporate data. In my latest blog post I explain how to use ...
Can anyone comment how long the preview will last??
And whether people will be able to move data from cool to archive status??
Why is rehydrating back to hot/cool required?? Google doesn't make you do this sort of thing, so far as I know. Amazon just makes you wait 17 years to retrieve your Glacier data. :)
Thank you, Tom

There is no ETA yet but I'm pretty confident that it won't take too long until GA. As soon as Azure Archive Blob Storage is GA I will update my blog post - so stay tuned :)
Sure, people can move data from cool to archive storage tier as this is a core feature of Azure Archive Blob Storage. Rehydrating is required as archive storage tier does not allow direct access to blobs. Archive storage is meant to be a cost-efficient, resilient, and secure storage tier for blobs that need to be stored for long-term periods but that don't need to be accessible immediately. Rehydration is done within hours.Best,
Tom
