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 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.
