The recommended Azure Storage account type for archiving 10 TB of on-premises data files to Azure while minimizing cost is Standard StorageV2 (general purpose v2).
Standard StorageV2 offers lower storage costs compared to Premium Storage and provides better scalability and performance than Standard Storage (general purpose v1). Standard StorageV2 supports block blobs, append blobs, and page blobs. Block blobs are ideal for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as media files and backups. Append blobs are designed for scenarios where data is appended to an existing blob, such as logging scenarios. Page blobs are used for virtual machine (VM) disks and allow random access reads and writes.
Premium Storage (general purpose v1) is a high-performance storage option that offers low-latency disk support for VM workloads. It provides the highest level of performance and reliability but is also the most expensive option. Premium StorageV2 (general purpose v2) is a more cost-effective alternative to Premium Storage and offers improved performance and scalability compared to Premium Storage (general purpose v1).
Standard Storage (general purpose v1) is the predecessor to Standard StorageV2 and offers a lower level of scalability and performance. It is recommended for workloads that do not require high levels of performance and scalability, such as backups and archive storage.
Therefore, the recommended Azure Storage account type for archiving 10 TB of on-premises data files to Azure while minimizing cost is Standard StorageV2 (general purpose v2).
