    Hi Vikas Bhadvalkar,

    To migrate from diagnostic settings storage retention to Azure Storage lifecycle management. This process involves transitioning how you manage the retention of logs and metrics stored in Azure Storage.

    Ensure you have diagnostic settings configured to log data to a storage account. You can use the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or an ARM template to review and manage these settings.

    Set Up Azure Storage Lifecycle Management:

    • Portal: Navigate to your storage account, select "Lifecycle management" under "Blob service," and define rules to manage the lifecycle of your data.
    • Azure CLI: Use commands like az storage account management-policy create to create and manage lifecycle policies.
    • ARM Template: Define lifecycle management rules in your ARM templates for automated deployments.

    Update your diagnostic settings to align with the new lifecycle management policies. This might involve adjusting retention periods and ensuring that logs and metrics are being stored according to your new rules.

    After migration, verify that your settings are correctly applied and monitor the storage account to ensure data is being managed as expected.
