3. Windows Azure Storage
• Cloud Storage, Any time any where access
• Durable and Highly available
• Pay for what you use
• Massively Scalable – Easily build internet scale enterprise level application
- 35 trillion plus + Storage options
- 3.5 million request + Request/sec on average
• Azure Storage uses an auto-partitioning system that automatically load-
balances your data based on traffic
• Exposed via Rest APIs or Also Client Libraries are available in languages like
.NET, Java and Node.js.
• Azure storage is accessible from any platform like desktop, Web or devices

4. Azure Storage Account
• An Azure storage account is a secure storage account that
gives access to services in Azure Storage
• Two types of accounts
- Standard
- Premium
• Standard Storage account Include all the Azure Storage
Abstractions (Blob, Table, Queue and File Storage)
• Premium Storage account supports Azure Virtual Machine
disks(SSDs) only right now

Storage Queue

18. • Azure Queue storage is a service for storing large
numbers of messages that can be accessed from
anywhere in the world via authenticated calls using HTTP
or HTTPS.
• A single queue message can be up to 64 KB in size,
and a queue can contain millions of messages, up to
the total capacity limit of a storage account.
• A storage account can contain up to 500 TB of blob,
queue, and table data.
Queue details

19. • Common Usage of Queue Storage Includes
• Creating a backlog of work to process asynchronously
• Passing messages from an Azure Web role to an Azure Worker role
• Queues are accessible from following URL format
• http://<storage account>.queue.core.windows.net/<queue>
• A Queue contains messages and a message can be
maximum of 64 Kb of size

22. Microsoft Azure
Storage Files

23. • Microsoft Azure virtual machines and cloud services can share file
data across application components via mounted shares, and on-
premises applications can access file data in a share via the File
storage API.
• File storage offers shared storage for applications using the
standard SMB 2.1 protocol.
• Applications running in Azure virtual machines or cloud services
can mount a File storage share to access file data, just as a desktop
application would mount a typical SMB share. Any number of Azure
virtual machines or roles can mount and access the File storage
share simultaneously.
Azure Files

24. • Since a File storage share is a standard SMB 2.1 file share,
applications running in Azure can access data in the share via file I/O
APIs. Developers can therefore leverage their existing code and skills
to migrate existing applications.
• Common uses of File storage include
- Storing shared application settings, for example in configuration files
- Storing diagnostic data such as logs, metrics, and crash dumps in a shared location
- Files that is accessible via multiple locations
• Files are addressable using the following URL format
- https://<storage account>.file.core.windows.net/<share>/<directory/directories>/<file>
