Expire Data Based on Age in Azure Blob Storage

In the scenario for this hands-on lab, you are the web admin for an online shopping site. The holidays are coming, so you anticipate holiday-themed items becoming popular in your store. You plan to showcase these items on the homepage, in which a web app retrieves the photos for these items from an Azure Storage account. After the holiday season, you don't want to keep these images, and the storage costs are too significant. You must find a way to automatically delete these photos after 30 days.
