Storage account types in Azure
In this
article we will learn about Azure storage account types.
A storage account in Azure can be viewed as the container.
When you
provision a storage account. You are asked to provide a unique name for that
storage account. This is necessary because data within a storage account is
accessible from anywhere in the world. That being the case, the storage account
namespace must be unique across the Azure landscape.
There are
several different types of storage accounts available. Each type offers
different features, and each has a different pricing model.
So lets
start with understanding on Azure storage account types.
Ø general-purpose V2
Ø general-purpose V1
Ø block blob storage
Ø File storage
Ø blob storage
Ø
general-purpose V2
Ø general-purpose V2 storage account is a basic
storage account that can be used, to host blobs, files, queues, and tables.
Ø Microsoft recommends using the general-purpose
V2 storage account for most scenarios that require Azure storage.
Ø
general-purpose V1
Ø general-purpose V1 storage account is a
legacy type account can also host blobs, files, queues, and tables.
Ø Microsoft recommends using the
general-purpose V2 account instead.
Ø
block blob
storage
Ø Block blob storage accounts offer premium
performance for block blobs and append blobs.
Ø Block blob storage accounts are also a
good choice for scenarios that require low storage latency.
Ø
File storage
File storage
accounts are exactly what the name says they are. They are files only storage
accounts. Because they feature high-performance characteristics, Microsoft
recommends using these kinds of accounts for enterprise applications or for
high-performing applications.
Ø
blob storage
Ø The blob storage account is a legacy account
that is used for blob only storage.
Ø Microsoft actually recommends that, instead
of using blob storage accounts, you use general-purpose V2 accounts
