Lifecycle management
.NET developers are no strangers to the challenges of managing data with varying lifecycles. With Azure Blob Storage’s lifecycle management feature, these challenges can be addressed more efficiently.

They’re accessed continuously for modifications, collaborative edits, or user previews. But as the novelty fades and weeks go by, the frequency with which these videos are accessed starts to decline.
