Azure Blob Storage Archive Tier Configuration

Mark is conducting a data lifecycle management workshop for Claire, the Storage Solutions Architect trainee at MDFT Pro training academy. During their session on Azure Blob Storage optimization strategies, they’re examining a storage account named storageaccount1 that was previously deployed for their cloud storage certification course. Claire needs to understand the relationship between account-level access tier settings and individual blob tier management capabilities.

The training scenario involves determining whether individual blobs can be moved to the archive tier for long-term, cost-effective storage of infrequently accessed training materials and student project archives.

The ARM template configuration shows the following settings for storageaccount1:

{
  "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",
  "apiVersion": "2019-06-01",
  "name": "storageaccount1",
  "location": "eastus",
  "sku": {
    "name": "Standard_LRS",
    "tier": "Standard"
  },
  "kind": "StorageV2",
  "properties": {
    "networkAcls": {
      "bypass": "AzureServices",
      "virtualNetworkRules": [],
      "ipRules": [],
      "defaultAction": "Allow"
    },
    "supportsHttpsTrafficOnly": true,
    "encryption": {
      "services": {
        "file": {
          "keyType": "Account",
          "enabled": true
        },
        "blob": {
          "keyType": "Account",
          "enabled": true
        }
      },
      "keySource": "Microsoft.Storage"
    },
    "accessTier": "Hot"
  }
}

Can individual blobs in storageaccount1 be set to use the archive tier?
