Generally Available: Archive Access Tier Now Available in Italy North

The Archive access tier for Azure Blob Storage is now generally available in the Italy North region.  

With this regional expansion, customers can now store infrequently accessed data in the cost-effective Archive tier while meeting data residency and compliance requirements in Italy. The Archive tier is ideal for long-term backup, compliance, and archival scenarios.  

You can manage Archive tier data using the Azure portal, CLI, PowerShell, or REST API. This update brings Italy North in line with other regions that support the full range of Azure Blob Storage tiers: Hot, Cool, Cold, and Archive.
