Azure Storage services - Azure Tutorial

- [Instructor] Azure Storage is a service that you can use to store files, messages, tables, and other types of data. It's a scalable, secure, easy to manage and can be accessed from anywhere. Azure Storage is also used by IaaS virtual machines and PaaS cloud services, and offers two years a standard HDD and a premium tier based on SSD. Azure Storage includes four data services. Each of which is accessing through a storage account. Azure Containers, a massively scalable object store for text and binary data. Azure Files and managed file shares for cloud or on premises deployments Azure Queues and messaging store for reliable messaging between application components, and Azure Tables, ideal for storing structured non-relational data. Azure Table storage is now part of Azure Cosmos DB and is out of the scope for this course. Azure Blob storage is Microsoft object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data such as stacks or binary data. Blob storage is ideal for serving images or documents directly to a browser. Sorting files for easy access. Streaming video and audio. Storing data for backup, disaster recovery, and archiving. Sorting data for analysis by your own premises or Azure storage service. Objects and Blob storage can be accessed from anywhere in the world via HTTP or HTTPS. Users or clients application can access Blobs via URLs, the Azure storage risk, API, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or with the Azure Storage client library. The Storage client libraries are available for multiple languages, including .NET, Java, Node.js, for multiple languages, including .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Azure Files enables you to setup, highly available network file share that can be accessed by using the standard Server Message Block, SMB and NFS protocols. File shares can be used for many common scenarios. Many on-premises applications use file shares. This feature makes it easier to migrate books' application that share data to Azure. If you mount the file share to the same drive that the on-premises application users, the part of your application that access the file share should work with minimal, if any changes. Configuration files can be stored on a file share and access from multiple virtual machines, tools, and utilities used by multiple developer in a group can be stored on a file share. Ensuring that everybody can find them and that they use the same version. Diagnostic logs, metrics, and crash dumps are just three example of data that can be written to a file share and processed or analyzed data. The Azure Queue service is used to store multiple messages. Queue messages can be up to 64 KB in size and the Queue can contain millions of messages. Queues are generally used to store lists of messages to be processed asynchronously. Now, you know the various type of Azure Storage Services and how they are commonly used.
