Azure Storage Actions is a fully managed platform designed to automate data management tasks for Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage. You can use it to perform common data operations on millions of objects across multiple storage accounts without provisioning extra compute capacity and without requiring you to write code.

Storage task actions can be used to rehydrate the archived blobs in any tier as required. Please note there is no option to set the rehydration priority and is defaulted to Standard one as of now.

Note :-

Azure Storage Actions are generally available in the following public regions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage-actions/overview#supported-regions
