Storage Account
This benefit means that Azure handles hardware maintenance, updates, and critical issues for you
What is managed service?
This Azure Storage service is a massively scalable object store for text and binary data
What is Azure Blob Storage?
Azure file shares can be mounted concurrently by these two deployment options
cloud or on-premises
This redundancy option replicates your data three times within a single physical location in the primary region
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
Blob Storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of this type of data
unstructured data
Use this service when you want to "lift and shift" an application to the cloud that already uses the native file system APIs to share data between it and other applications running in Azure
Azure Files
Azure Storage data objects are accessible from anywhere in the world over these protocols
What are HTTP and HTTPS?
an easy-to-use command-line tool for Windows and Linux that copies data to and from Blob Storage
azcopy
This protocol allows Azure file shares to be accessed from Windows, Linux, and macOS clients
What is the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol?
This redundancy option provides protection against regional disasters by replicating your data to a second region
What is Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS)?
This feature of Azure Blob Storage supports big data analytics by providing a hierarchical namespace
What is Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2?
This feature allows Azure file shares to be cached on Windows servers for fast access near where the data is being used.
What is Azure File Sync?
This feature ensures that your data is encrypted at rest in Azure Storage.
What is Storage Service Encryption (SSE)?
Azure Storage supports these three types of blobs
Block, append and page blobs
This type of file shares use by solid-state drives (SSDs) and provide consistent high performance and low latency, within single-digit milliseconds for most IO operations, for IO-intensive workloads
SSD (Premium)
