What is the Guaranteed Lifetime of a Azure Storage API Version (API SLA)

After reading the Azure Storage SLA ( https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/storage/v1_0/ ), it did not find where it states how long we can count on an API being valid. If I am building a device, I have essentially two choices, each with its specific trade-offs:

  1. Over the air updates.
  2. Stable API over the expected lifetime of the device ( > 10 years in any case). i.e. having a stable API contract so my software won't break due to API changes.

I'm looking for an answer to item 2 here with Azure Storage APIs via the Azure Storage Client Library (or, if not, native REST API or whatever).

Ideas?

as far as I know, Microsoft is not providing guarantees on API immutability. They do retire old versions. They're retiring Storage API from 2009 a year from now. So, that makes it 6yrs?
