Storage

Azure provides a durable, highly available, and scalable storage solution through storage services.

Storage is used to persist data for long-term needs. Azure Storage is available on the internet for almost every programming language.

Storage categories

Storage has two categories of storage accounts:

A standard storage performance tier that allows you to store tables, queues, files, blobs, and Azure virtual machine disks.
A premium storage performance tier supporting Azure virtual machine disks, at the time of writing. Premium storage provides higher performance and IOPS than standard general storage. Premium storage is currently available as data disks for virtual machines backed up by SSDs.

Depending on the kind of data that is being stored, the storage is classified into different types. Let's look at the storage types and learn more about them.
