All of your Azure Storage data objects, such as blobs, file shares, queues, tables, and disks, are stored in an Azure storage account.
Azure Blob Storage is a storage solution for the cloud. Massive volumes of unstructured data, including text or binary data, can be stored there since it is designed to do so. It offers storage so you may create data lakes for your analytics needs and create robust cloud-native and mobile apps.
It supports three types of blobs. They are Block blobs, Append blobs and Page blobs.
Block blobs are ideal for storing text or binary files and uploading large files efficiently.
Append blobs are very good for logging scenarios because they are specially designed for append operations.
Page blobs are used for storing virtual hard drive (VHD) files because they are used for random read/write operations
Come on! Lets get to work
We are creating a storage account with Azure blob container
First, log in to your Azure portal and click on Storage account to create one.
Complete the credentials under Project Details and Instance Details as shown in the image below. I will name the storage account yemmystorage
Then click on Review
Then Create
Click on Go to Resource
Click on Containers and then Create.
I will name the container bibicontainer
And change the Public Access Level to Blob
And click on create
Wait for it to be created and click on the blob, bibicontainer
To demonstrate how a blob works, lets upload a file to it.
Click on upload
Select a file to be uploaded and click on Upload
Click on the file uploaded, then copy its URL and paste it on your browser
Yeah! The file was accurately copied and stored in the blob container
