Summary

Blob Storage is an amazing storage mechanism in Windows Azure. Between the scalability factors, authorization security settings, and the Blob Storage API for easy access, this truly is a long-term solution for anyone wishing to utilize Windows Azure for any application or service. In this chapter, we gained an overview of the two types of blobs, created a storage service for our project, and examined the API and client library used to interact with containers and blobs. As mentioned, we will begin to use Blob Storage and the Blob Storage API in Chapter 9 of this book when we build the front-end of our application for "Spee-D Delivery" with "Jupiter Motors" web role.
