Data Retention for Azure Storage

Question

I'm trying to know if there is a maximum data retention period for data stored in a Blob Storage? What I'm trying to know is if I store something in a Blob Storage, are there any risks that this data will be deleted by Microsoft after a certain period of time?

Answer 1

Azure Storage is durable : Unless you delete an object (or storage account), or cancel your subscription, your data persists.

Data can also be deleted if you've configured a data lifecycle policy (eg delete blobs older than a specified number of days).
