Types of Storage Options in Azure

  1. Azure Blob Storage: Ideal for storing large amounts of unstructured data such as text or binary data. Use it for content distribution, backups, and archiving.
  2. Azure File Storage: Suitable for migrating on-premises applications that require file shares. Use it for shared storage for applications hosted in the cloud.
  3. Azure Table Storage: Designed for semi-structured data that may require querying, but doesn't require complex relationships. Use it for storing structured NoSQL data.
  4. Azure Queue Storage: Perfect for building highly scalable applications that process data in a specific order. Use it for message queuing between application components.

Choosing the right type of storage in Azure depends on the specific requirements of your application. Consider factors such as data structure, access patterns, scalability, and performance when selecting the appropriate storage option.
