Core storage services<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Azure Storage platform includes the following data services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Firstly, Azure Blobs: A massively scalable object store for text and binary data. Also includes support for big data analytics through Data Lake Storage Gen2.<\/li>
- Also, Azure Files: Managed file shares for cloud or on-premises deployments.<\/li>
- Furthermore, Azure Queues: A messaging store for reliable messaging between application components.<\/li>
- Also, Azure Tables: A NoSQL store for schemaless storage of structured data.<\/li>
- Finally, Azure Disks: Block-level storage volumes for Azure VMs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Each service is accessed through a storage account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blob storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAzure Blob storage is Microsoft’s object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Azure Files<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAzure Files\u00a0enables you to set up highly available network file shares that can be accessed by using the standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. That means that multiple VMs can share the same files with both read and write access. You can also read the files using the REST interface or the storage client libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Queue storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Azure Queue service is used to store and retrieve messages. Queue messages can be up to 64 KB in size, and a queue can contain millions of messages. Queues are generally used to store lists of messages to be processed asynchronously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Table storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAzure Table storage is now part of Azure Cosmos DB. To see Azure Table storage documentation, see the\u00a0Azure Table Storage Overview. In addition to the existing Azure Table storage service, there is a new Azure Cosmos DB Table API offering that provides throughput-optimized tables, global distribution, and automatic secondary indexes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disk storage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAn Azure managed disk is a virtual hard disk (VHD). You can think of it like a physical disk in an on-premises server but, virtualized. Azure-managed disks are stored as page blobs, which are a random IO storage object in Azure. We call a managed disk ‘managed’ because it is an abstraction over page blobs, blob containers, and Azure storage accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Types of storage accounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAzure Storage offers several types of storage accounts. Each type supports different features and has its own pricing model.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every request to Azure Storage must be authorized. Azure Storage supports the following authorization methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Fistly, Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) integration for blob and queue data<\/li>
- Also, Azure AD authorization over SMB for Azure Files<\/li>
- Subsequently, Authorization with Shared Key<\/li>
- Also, Authorization using shared access signatures (SAS)<\/li>
- Finally, Anonymous access to containers and blobs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
