Storage
Store blobs, files, queues and tables.
📖 Key ideas
- A storage account contains Blob, File, Queue and Table services.
- Blob storage holds unstructured data (images, backups).
- Access tiers: Hot, Cool, Cold, Archive.
- Redundancy: LRS, ZRS, GRS.
- Share with SAS tokens; keep containers private by default.
💡 Real-life example: A storage account is a warehouse with different sections: shelves (blobs), lockers (files), conveyor belts (queues).
