Hello everyone! This post promises to give us an even more rigorous cloud exercise as we really build some cloud muscle. The focus of this paper will be Azure Storage.


Azure Storage account Creation: what is it all about? An Azure Storage Account is a Microsoft Azure service that provides scalable, durable, and secure cloud storage for a variety of data objects.

This piece will assist us in:

  • Making a storage account.
  • Setting up security it.
  • Setting up TSL version for it.
  • Limiting access to the network till required.

Let's get started right away! Come with me to the cloud!

Summary

  • All of your Azure Storage data objects, including as files, queues, tables, and blobs, are contained in an Azure storage account.

  • Azure Storage provides both Standard and Premium storage account options. Every kind has a unique cost structure and supports a variety of features.

  • Multiple copies of your data are always kept in Azure Storage to safeguard it against both anticipated and unforeseen circumstances.

  • Data in both the primary and secondary areas can be replicated using redundancy models.
