Storage Account
An Azure storage account contains Azure Storage data objects blobs, files, queues, tables and disks. The storage account provides a unique namespace for Azure Storage data. The data in a storage account is highly available, secure and massively scalable.
Storage Account Authentication
Storage Account Name
Storage Account Access Key
Key-based access must be enabled (in the console, see Properties → Security for the Storage Account). To retrieve the access key, go to the console → Storage Account → left tab → Security + networking → Access keys.
Storage Account Types
General-purpose V2 (StorageV2)
Basic storage account for blobs, files, queues and tables, recommended for most scenarios.
General-purpose V1
Legacy accounts.
BlockBlobStorage
Storage accounts with premium performance characteristics for block blobs and append blobs. Recommended for scenarios with high transactions rates, or scenarios that use smaller objects or require consistently low storage latency.
FileStorage
Files-only storage accounts with premium performance characteristics.
BlobStorage
Legacy Blob-only storage accounts.
Storage Account Operations
Storage Types
Object (Blob, Container) Storage
A scalable, cost-effective object storage for unstructured data.
A file share is offered under the Azure Files service.
Azure Files Service
Table Storage
NoSQL key-value store.
Queue Storage
Durable queues.
Managed Disk
Azure Disk is storage designed to be used with Azure virtual machines.
