What is Azure Storage

Microsoft Azure's Azure Storage is a cloud storage system that offers a variety of data types highly scalable, long-lasting, and secure storage. It makes it possible for companies and developers to handle and store vast volumes of both organised and unstructured data. Azure Storage provides a wide range of use cases, including content distribution, backups, and data lakes. It can be used to store files, databases, and application data, among other things.

Azure Storage offers a number of services, including:

Blob Storage: Perfect for backing up papers, photos, movies, and other unstructured material. In order to optimise expenses based on access frequency, it provides three tiers: Hot, Cool, and Archive.
File Storage (Azure Files): You can replace conventional file servers with managed file shares that are accessible via SMB and NFS protocols.
File Storage (Azure Files): You can replace conventional file servers with managed file shares that are accessible via SMB and NFS protocols.
Queue Storage: Frequently utilised in distributed systems, it permits dependable, asynchronous communications between application components.
Table Storage: Massive volumes of semi-structured data may be quickly accessed with this NoSQL key-value storage.
Disc Storage: Offers persistent discs for virtual machines operating on Azure, providing high-performance storage for VMs.

Because of these services' tremendous scalability, you can store data in the range of megabytes to petabytes. Azure Storage is an effective option for both small and large developers since it guarantees high availability, redundancy, and security features like encryption.
