Azure storage begins with the Storage Account, a container for storing various data types, including blobs, files, queues, tables, and disks.
Blob storage in Azure is designed for unstructured data, such as documents, images, and media files.
Azure Files provides fully managed, cloud-based file shares, accessible via SMB or NFS protocols, making it suitable for lift-and-shift migrations of on-premises file shares to Azure.
Data security is a top priority when implementing cloud storage, and Azure offers various features to protect data at rest and in transit.
