Azure Blob - Convert blob access tier on Page and append blobs

Hi All

Azure storage account is one of the mostly used service by many people and it has page, append and block blob types on storage blob.

To have blobs in "Hot" tier incur some more cost but it is prffered for frequently accessed. so if our blob is required but less access then we can change its access tier to keep it with low cost then at the time of need we can change it back to original type.

we can set access tier only for block blobs. For remaining blob types, there is no direct way to set access tiers. so how can we achieve it?

we need to change blob type to block blob and apply access tier for it then when we need original blob with appropriate, we need to typecast from the recent one we converted.

In the below image, Initially I have an append blob called "1.JPG". when you see it, you could not see its access tier whereas bloc blob shows as "Hot"

Now, Let's copy the append blob as block-blob with "Cool" access tier using Azure CLI as below then will get back the original form later when we need until then we can save some cost.

I welcome your comments and feedbacks
