The Archive access tier for Azure Blob Storage is now generally available in the Malaysia West region.
With this regional expansion, customers in Malaysia can now store infrequently accessed data in the cost-effective Archive tier, while meeting data residency and compliance requirements locally. The Archive tier is ideal for long-term backup, compliance, and archival scenarios, offering the lowest-priced storage option in Azure.
You can manage Archive tier data using the Azure portal, CLI, PowerShell, or REST API. This update brings Malaysia West in line with other regions that support the full range of Azure Blob Storage tiers: Hot, Cool, Cold, and Archive.
