General-purpose v2 storage accounts support the latest Azure Storage features and incorporate all of the functionality of General-purpose v1 and Blob storage accounts.

By default, a new storage account is created in the hot access tier, and a General-purpose v1 storage account can be upgraded to either the hot or cool account tier. If an account access tier is not specified on upgrade, it will be upgraded to hot by default.
