Master best practices for success with all aspects of Azure cloud storage.

For cloud environments to operate and scale as they should, their storage components must be designed and configured well. Now, there’s a complete, best-practice guide to designing, deploying, and managing Azure storage services for maximum performance, scalability, and value. Leading cloud consultant Avinash Valiramani shows how to make the most of Azure storage tools and services to reduce downtime, avoid unnecessary costs, simplify management, and maintain excellent performance no matter how large you scale. You’ll fi nd detailed, expert coverage of Azure blob, fi le, queue storage, managed disks, Data Share, Data Box, and more. Whatever your role in delivering efficient, reliable cloud services, this deep dive will help you make the most of your Azure investment.

Microsoft Azure provides an object storage solution called Blob Storage that enables organizations to store large volumes of unstructured data in the cloud. The unstructured data can consist of text data such as log files, XML files, or binary data, such as images, audio, and video files.

The storage allows you to access the unstructured data in many ways, such as the following:

- Applications can connect using REST APIs over HTTP/HTTPS.
- Users and clients can connect and access the blobs using Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Azure Storage client libraries.

Azure Blob Storage supports various programming languages, including .NET, Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, and Ruby. This enables developers to integrate Azure Blob Storage to meet the needs of various applications to extend or replace the existing underlying storage.

Leading Azure consultant Avinash Valiramani shows how to:

Use Blob Storage to store and access large volumes of unstructured data in the cloud, including application data, streaming content, logs, backups, and archival data
Replace traditional on-premise file servers with Azure Files to provide scalable shared fi le storage services over SMB and NFS
Implement Managed Disks to provide scalable, secure, and redundant disks for virtual machines in Azure
Promote scalability and resilience in large distributed applications with Azure Queue Storage
Import/export large data volumes across Azure storage services with Azure Data Box
Establish secure, automated, and manageable global data sharing with Azure Data Share
