3.1 5.3 Azure Blob Storage Fundamentals 101

This document provides an overview of Azure Blob storage and data replication options. It discusses that Azure Blob storage stores unstructured data and supports massive amounts of data and connections. It also describes Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, which provides analytics capabilities and stores both structured and unstructured data at scale. Additionally, it outlines the different access tiers and storage lifecycle policies for Azure Blob storage, as well as the encryption and replication options for ensuring security and high availability of data in the cloud.

Azure Blob Storage Fundamentals 101


Azure Blobs Overview – Unstructured Data
q Azure Blob storage is Microsoft's object storage solution for
the cloud, optimized to store massive amounts of
unstructured data (text or binary data)

q BLOB – Binary Large Objects

q Unstructured Data ?
q Any type of data can be stored,
Blob Storage
no restrictions

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals


Azure Blobs Overview – Unstructured Data
q World wide reachable, only internet connection is needed;
blobs accessed through HTTP/S

q Highly scalable Azure service, can support thousands of


connections, massive amount of data

q Azure Blob storage supports Azure Data


Lake Storage Gen2; this is Microsoft’s
data analytics solution for the cloud Blob Storage

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals


Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
q Azure service built using two existing services: Azure Storage
and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1

q Azure DLS Gen2 provides big data analytics capabilities, built


on Azure Storage; stores both structured and
unstructured data

q Scalable (up to exabytes of data = 1m TB),


cost effective (blob storage lifecycle and
Data Lake
access tiers)
Storage
Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Azure Blob Storage Lifecycle & Access Tiers
q Azure storage offers three access tiers:
q Hot – frequently accessed data
q Cool – infrequently accessed data (stored min. 30 days)
q Archive – rarely accessed data (stored min. 180 days)

q Multiple access tiers available, we can build


a storage lifecycle policy, which translates
to cost-effective storage
Blob Storage
q Policy : HOT à COOL à ARCHIVE Lifecycle

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals


Azure Storage Encryption
q Azure Storage automatically encrypts your data in Azure
Cloud

q Encryption is done using:


q Microsoft-managed encryption keys
(Azure Storage Service Encryption-SSE)
q Customer encryption keys
(client-side encryption)
Storage
Encryption

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals


Azure Storage Replication
q Microsoft Azure always replicates data in your storage
account to ensure durability and high availability

q Data can be replicated within the same DC, across zonal DCs
within the same region or across geographically
separated regions

q Multiple redundancy options exist, can be


selected when storage account is created
Storage
Replication
Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Azure Storage Replication

q Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates your data three


times within a single data center
q Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) replicates your data across
three storage clusters in a single region (3 AZs)

Microsoft Azure Fundamentals


Azure Storage Replication

q Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary


region (min. 300 miles away)
q RA-GRS provides read-only access to the data in the
secondary location, in addition to geo-replication across two
regions (GRS)
Microsoft Azure Fundamentals
Azure Storage Replication

q Geo-Zone-Redundant Storage (GZRS) combines ZRS and


GRS, data in 3 AZs (1st region) and in a 2nd region
q Read-Access GZRS enables read access to data in the
secondary region
