Azure Storage provides massively scalable, durable, and highly available cloud storage. A single storage account gives you access to four distinct storage services, each designed for a different use case.
A storage account is the top-level resource for Azure Storage. It provides a unique namespace for your data, accessible from anywhere via HTTP or HTTPS.
az storage account create \
--name mystorageaccount \
--resource-group rg-demo \
--location uksouth \
--sku Standard_LRS
| Type | Services | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Standard general-purpose v2 | Blob, File, Queue, Table | Most workloads (recommended default) |
| Premium block blobs | Blob (block blobs only) | High-transaction-rate workloads |
| Premium file shares | File (Azure Files only) | Enterprise file shares requiring high IOPS |
| Premium page blobs | Blob (page blobs only) | Unmanaged VM disks (legacy) |
Blob (Binary Large Object) storage is optimised for storing massive amounts of unstructured data — images, videos, documents, backups, logs.
