Take a deep dive into Azure Blob storage, an object storage solution for the cloud that’s ideal for storing a wide variety of unstructured data. In this installment of Azure Storage for Developers, instructor Anton Delsink helps you understand how to best leverage this key part of the Azure Storage service. To begin, Anton demonstrates how to create a storage account and take steps to ensure that your stored data is secure. He then covers blobs, explaining how to connect to blob containers; work with the different types of blobs, including append bobs and block blobs; and create a shared access signature to control access to a blob. To wrap up, he covers the performance constraints of Azure Blob storage and discusses how to deploy Azure content distribution network (CDN).

Topics include:

  • Creating a Blob storage account
  • Stored access policies for granting privileges
  • Shared access signatures
  • Encrypting data at rest
  • Connecting to blob containers
  • Working with append and block blobs
  • Azure Storage metadata
  • Blob performance considerations
