Services Within Azure Storage With Azure Storage, you get access to an array of services designed to meet diverse storage needs. Ideal for Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Azure Tables and Azure Queues. Azure Files Azure Files offers fully managed file shares in the cloud, accessible via the industry-standard Server Message Block (SMB) and Network File System (NFS) protocols. It is a simple way to migrate legacy applications that rely on file shares to the cloud without major changes. Azure Files supports both hot and cool storage tiers to optimize costs based on access patterns. Ideal for Sharing files across platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) in the cloud or on-premises environments. Azure Blob Storage Blobs are best suited for large datasets or media files accessed infrequently. Data is organized in containers (virtual folders) for better manageability. Blob storage supports three types of blobs: block blobs, append blobs and page blobs, catering to different use cases like storing documents or supporting large-scale workloads like virtual machines. Ideal for Large unstructured data like media files (videos, images, audio), backups, archives, log files and scientific datasets. Azure Data Lake Storage ADLS is an enterprise-wide hyper-scale repository for big data analytics workloads. ADLS integrates with Azure Blob Storage but is optimized for processing large data lakes that require massive parallel processing. It supports advanced capabilities like fine-tuned access control and file system semantics, making it suitable for Big Data analytics and operational data scenarios. Ideal for Big data analytics workloads involving massive volumes of unstructured data in its native format (e.g., CSV, JSON, parquet). Azure Tables Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL data store for semi-structured data. It's a great option for storing datasets that don't require complex joins, foreign keys or stored procedures, and where schemas need to evolve over time. It's designed for fast access to large volumes of data, making it great for web-scale applications. Ideal for Storing structured or semi-structured data. Azure Queues Azure Queues provides a cloud-based messaging service within the Azure Storage platform, offering a reliable way to asynchronously communicate messages between application components, even if they're not online at the same time. Ideal for Creating a backlog of work to process asynchronously. 7 oneneck.com 7 oneneck.com 02 7 oneneck.com
