Azure’s object storage service.
Azure Blob Storage is Microsoft’s object storage solution designed for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. It offers three storage tiers (Hot, Cool, and Archive) for cost-effective data management throughout its lifecycle. Blob storage supports different types of blobs (Block, Append, and Page blobs) for different use cases. It provides features like data encryption at rest, WORM (Write Once, Read Many) policies, and soft delete for data protection. The service integrates with Azure CDN for content delivery and supports features like static website hosting. Access can be controlled through Azure AD and Shared Access Signatures (SAS).
