The Azure Storage Account offers Blob storage, which operates in the same way as files stored on our local systems, such as pictures, videos, PDFs, and so on. In this recipe, we will learn how to use the Azure Storage Account for storing blobs.
Before we jump into creating blob objects, we should know some more about the blob service concept. Look at the following diagram:
- The Azure Storage Account is an access point through which Azure storage can be accessed.
- The Storage Container is a set of specific storage blobs. Every blob needs to be part of a container.
- The Blobs is a file that could be anything, such as a PDF, image, video, and so on.
