Q45. How many types of services does Azure Storage service provide?
Storage service provides:
Blob storage is used to store and retrieve Blobs. A Blob Storage can store massive amount data such as audio, video, email messages, archived files, zip files or a word processing document.
Table storage is used to store and retrieve structured data called entities. A Table Storage can store enormous amounts of structured data in a tabular way. Even though, it stores data in a row and columns format, Table storage is not a relational database. It is a Microsoft’s NoSQL data store. In table storage we cannot set the relationships between tables.
Queue storage is used to store and retrieve messages. This service enables you to implement message-based communication between your different components of the cloud application. This service plays a vital role in building scalable cloud applications.
All data in storage service will be replicated three times in the same datacenter to ensure high availability and prevent loss of data.
