Manage indices through phases: hot (actively indexing), warm (read-only, recent), cold (infrequent access), delete (expired).
Hot indices on SSD, warm on HDD, cold on object storage. Rollover indices by size or age. ILM policies automate transitions. Time-series data (logs, metrics) benefits most from lifecycle management.
