Soft delete for blobs protects data from accidental deletes or overwrites by retaining a recoverable copy for a configurable period of 1-365 days. Because the feature operates entirely within the storage service, client applications need no modification. Blob versioning retains every version unless you add lifecycle rules, potentially increasing storage costs. Immutable storage prevents any updates during the retention window, which would block legitimate writes. Adding snapshot logic requires code changes, violating the requirement.
