Data retention for archived metrics extended from 8 to 31 days	To facilitate long-term data and historical trend analysis, you can store archived metrics for up to 31 days. You can also customize your restoration time window when creating exception rules.
Terraform implementation	You can use Terraform to archive metrics and create exception rules, such as routing a subset of metrics to the real-time tier rather than the archival tier.
