Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob Storage offers unstructured data storage in the cloud. It can store all kinds of data, such as documents, VHDs, images, and audio files.

There are two types of blobs that you can create. There are page blobs, which are used for the storage of disks. So, when you have VHD which need to be stored and attached to your VM, you will create a page blob. The maximum size of a page blob is 1 TB. The other one is block blobs, which are basically all the other types of data that you can store in Azure, such as files and documents. The maximum size of a block blob is 200 GB. However, there is a third blob type named append blob, but this one is used internally by Azure and can't be used in order to store actual files.

There are a couple of ways that you can copy blobs to your blob storage account. You can use the Azure Portal (only one at a time) or Azure...
