Azure Storages

Azure storage offers scalable storage options including object storage, file storage, queue storage, and NoSQL storage. It provides durable, secure, scalable, and managed storage. Data can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Storage is accessed through storage accounts, which can store files, messages, and semi-structured data at large scale and high durability. Key storage options include blob storage for files, queue storage for messages, table storage for semi-structured NoSQL data, and file storage for file shares.

AZURE STORAGES

Azure storage offers a massively scalable object store for data objects, a file system
service for the cloud, a messaging store for reliable messaging, and a NoSQL store.

Azure storage is

 Durable
 Secure
 Scalable
 Managed
 Accessible

Data Types
 Structured - Data that can be represented using tables with very strict schema. Each row
must follow defined schema. Some tables have defined relationships between them.
Typically used in relational databases.
 Semi-structured - Data that can be represented using tables but without strict defined
schema. Rows must only have unique key identifier.
 Unstructured - Any files in any format. Like binary files, application files, images, movies, etc.

Storage Account
 Group of services which include
o blob storage,
o queue storage,
o table storage, and
o file storage
 Used to store
o files,
o messages, and
o semi-structured data
 Highly scalable (up to petabytes of data)
 Highly durable (99.999999999% - 11 nines, up to 16 nines)
 Cheapest per GB storage

Blob Storage
BLOB STORAGE STRUCTURE

 BLOB – binary large object – file


 Designed for storage of files of any kind

Three storage tiers


o Hot – frequently accessed data
o Cool – infrequently accessed data (lower availability, high durability)
o Archive – rarely (if-ever) accessed data

Queue Storage

Storage Queue Structure


 Storage for small pieces of data (messages)
 Designed for scalable asynchronous processing

Table Storage

Table Storage Structure


 Storage for semi-structured data (NoSQL)
o No need for foreign joins, foreign keys, relationships or strict schema
o Designed for fast access
 Many programming interfaces and SDKs

File Storage

File storage Structure


 Storage for files accessed via shared drive protocols
 Designed to extend on-premise file shares or implement lift-and-shift scenarios

Disk Storage
 Disk emulation in the cloud
 Persistent storage for Virtual Machines
 Different
o sizes,
o types (SSD, HDD)
o performance tiers
 Disk can be unmanaged or managed
File vs Blob Storage

Storage Performance Tier


Two types:

 Standard
 Premium

DATA REDUNDANCY
Locally-redundant storage (LRS)

Whole Domain (FD)

-Database Data always available even in case of hardware failure or update

Update Domain (UP)

Zone-redundant storage (ZRS)

-A little pricier than LRS

Geo-redundant Storage (GRS)


-Cannot read data from second region until Microsoft initiates in case disaster

Read-access Geo-redundant Storage (RA-GRS)

-Can read data from second region
