Managing Azure Storage with Object Replication and Lifecycle Management

Efficient data management is crucial in cloud environments, and Azure Storage provides robust tools to optimize storage costs and enhance data availability. Object replication ensures that data is automatically copied across multiple storage accounts, providing redundancy and faster access in different regions. Lifecycle management policies help automate the retention, transition, and deletion of storage objects based on predefined rules, optimizing cost and performance.

Objectives

By completing this lab, you will be able to:

• Configure object replication to synchronize data across Azure Storage accounts.
• Implement lifecycle management policies to automate data tiering and retention.
• Understand how blob storage tiers (Hot, Cool, Archive) affect storage costs and accessibility.
• Use Azure Portal to configure, monitor, and manage storage policies effectively.

Who is this lab for?

This lab is designed for:

• Cloud Engineers who manage and optimize cloud storage strategies.
• IT Administrators looking to automate storage retention and cost-saving policies.
• DevOps Professionals who need to ensure high availability and redundancy in storage solutions.
• Security Analysts aiming to enforce compliance by automating data lifecycle policies.
