3.1. Azure Storage Accounts: The Universal Container
💡 First Principle: Azure Storage Accounts provide a unified namespace for durable, highly available, and scalable storage of objects that do not fit into a database—from blobs to files to simple tables.
Scenario: A media company needs to store millions of images, provide file shares for content creators, and maintain simple configuration data. A database would be overkill and expensive. Azure Storage offers cost-effective alternatives.
Azure Storage Accounts are the foundation for multiple storage services, each optimized for different access patterns.
