Trying to figure out how to change the access tier to cold for directories we'd like to store in a hot data lake container. It appears the only option is to change the access tier on a file by file basis as directories and files will inherit the Data Lake's preferred access tier option selected when it was created. Would it be possible to override this setting in one container to cool or archive? Can the data be transferred as "cool" using azcopy or Storage Explorer. The other option would be to set a Lifecycle Management Policy on the storage account, selecting only the container in question and changing the access tier after 1 day or so. Would like to avoid that approach if there is a simpler solution. The end goal is to have a simple archival strategy that takes files to cool storage using the existing data lake.
