In this chapter, we will be introducing the Azure File service by Azure Storage. This service allows you to create file shares between multiple Azure VMs using the SMB 2.1 protocol. The shares can then be accessed by applications using standard Windows File APIs or via Files REST API (part of the Storage REST APIs), making persistent data sharing very easy among various Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) Azure components. The Azure File service is built on the same technology as blobs, tables, and queues; thus, it leverages the existing availability, durability, scalability, and geo-redundancy that are built into the platform.
