Simplifying Cloud Storage Solutions for Your Business
What is Storage account in Azure?
All of your Azure Storage data objects, including blobs, files, queues, and tables, are contained in an Azure storage account. It gives your Azure Storage data a distinct namespace that can be accessed via HTTP or HTTPS from any location in the world. This implies that you can easily and safely store and access your data from wherever.
A variety of storage services are available with Azure storage accounts, each tailored to a certain set of requirements. These consist of:
Blob Storage: Large volumes of unstructured data, such text or binary data, can be stored in blob storage.
File Storage: File shares that are managed and accessible over the SMB protocol.
Queue Storage: Used to store a lot of messages that are accessible from any location in the world.
Table Storage: A NoSQL database used to store structured data without a schema.
Every kind of storage account has a unique pricing structure and includes a variety of features. More information about setting up and maintaining Azure storage accounts can be found here.
