Azure Storage

Azure Storage is Microsoft's cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. 
 Why Azure Storage:
Durable and Highly Available:
·       Data is safe during hardware failure.
·       Replicate data across data centres.
·       In local catastrophe or natural disaster data replicated to other data centres remains highly available.
Secure:
·       Data encrypted by Azure service Storage Service encryption (SSE) for data at rest.
·       Completed control over who access your data.
Scalable:
·       Designed to massive scale.
Managed:
·       Azure handles maintenance, updates and critical issues.
Accessible:
·       Accessible from anywhere in the world.
·       You can access using http, https, .net, java, php, python and etc.
 You can store all type of data
-       Structure:
The term structured data refers to data that resides in a fixed field within a file or record. Structured data is typically stored in a relational database (RDBMS). ... Typical examples of structured data are names, addresses, credit card numbers, geolocation, and so on.
-  Unstructured:
         In the modern world of big data, unstructured data is the most abundant. It’s so prolific because unstructured data could be anything: media, imaging, audio, sensor data, text data, and much more.
Types of Storage Account:
1.     Standard
2.     Premium

1.     Standard:
-       Backed by HDD (magnetic drives)
-       Low cost per GB
-       Used for applications that requires bulk storage.
-       Infrequently accessed data.

2.     Premium:
-       Backed by SSD (Solid State Drive)
-       Low latency performance.
-       Used by i/o intensive applications.
 
Note: You can’t convert standard storage account to premium and vice versa.
 
Azure Storage Services
Azure Storage includes these data services, each of which is accessed through a storage account.
Azure Container (Blobs):
-       Massively scalable object store for text and binary data.
Ideal for:
-       Serving image or document directly to a browser.
-       Storing files for distributed access
-       Streaming video or audio.
-       Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery and archiving purpose.
-       Storing data for analysis by on-premises or azure services.
Can be accessed from anywhere in the world using http, https, java, .net, php, python and more.
Azure Files:
Managed files share for cloud or on-premises deployments.
Ideal for:
-       Enable you to setup highly available network file share that can be accessed using server messages block (SMB).
-       Multiple vm’s can share files with both read and write access.
-       You can access the files from anywhere is the world using url includes SAS.
-       You can generate tokens for specific amount of time to have access.
-       Mostly used in on-premises applications, configuration files, or diagnostic log and metrics.
-       Storage account credentials used to provide authentication for access to the file share.
-       Anybody with the share mounted will have read/write access to share.
 
Queue Storage:
A messaging store for reliable messaging between application components.
-       Used to store and retrieve messages
-       Messages can be up to 64kb in size.
-       Can contain millions of messages.
Azure Table storage:
A NoSQL store for schemaless storage of structured data.
-       Part of a azure cosmos DB.
-       Ideal for storing structured and non-relational data.
