Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage is a scalable and highly available object storage service designed to handle vast amounts of unstructured data, including images, videos, documents, backups, and log files. It offers three storage tiers—Hot, Cool, and Archive—allowing organizations to optimize their costs based on data access patterns. Data is organized into containers, and each blob within a container can be accessed via a unique URL. Blob Storage supports integration with other Azure services like Azure CDN for efficient content delivery and Azure Data Lake for big data analytics. With features like redundancy options (LRS, GRS) and secure access via Shared Access Signatures (SAS), Azure Blob Storage ensures data durability, availability, and security. It’s ideal for applications requiring large-scale storage solutions and integrates well with modern cloud-native architectures for media, backup, and IoT data handling.
