Types of blobs in Azure Blob Storage
Azure Blob Storage provides three specialized blob types – block blobs, page blobs, and append blobs – to cater to diverse data storage requirements. Each blob type has unique features and optimizations that suit specific use cases.
Understanding the different types of Azure Blob Storage is fundamental to achieving efficient data management and storage strategy in the cloud. These blob types (blob, page, and append) cater to diverse needs, accommodating varied data forms and access patterns, each having its own benefits and use cases. Let’s delve into these types next.
Block blobs
Block blobs are the most commonly used blob type in Azure Blob Storage. They are designed for handling large files, such as images, videos, and text files, that can be broken into smaller chunks called blocks. This subsection will delve into the structure, features, and best practices of working with block blobs in Azure Blob Storage.
