+Storage Management for Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage provides deep, prefix-level analytics to help you understand exactly how your storage is being used. With Storage Management you can:
 - **Pinpoint where spend is coming from in your bucket**: Break storage cost to the prefix so you know which workloads, teams, or environments drive growth.
 - **Identify cold data**: Spot buckets with rarely accessed prefixes, and move cold data to lower-cost tiers.
 - **Tune retention and lifecycle rules with data**: Read/write and age metrics show when objects were last used, so you can shift unused prefixes to Glacier, Intelligent-Tiering, and other low-cost classes.
 - **Monitor data freshness**: Age metrics show how recently each prefix was updated, so you can confirm that backups and other time-sensitive data are landing in prefixes when they should.
