What is Azure Storage?


Microsoft provides a smart solution for modern-day storage problems which is Azure Storage. With data growing day by day, we need to upscale our methods of storage as well. Azure storage provides massive scalability, along with security, durability, and much more things

What is Azure Storage?


Azure Storage is the modern-day solution to all storage problems. Its storage capacity is limitless, virtually. Being a pay-as-you-go model, it gives you the flexibility of paying only for what you have used. Azure Storage supports different clients like .NET, Ruby, Java, etc. which gives developers an option.


To access any of the storage services, you must have an Azure Storage account. To do so, first, create an Azure account.


What is Azure Storage?



Features of Azure Storage



Durability and high availability: Stored data is replicated and kept in different geographical locations. Hence, in the case of any hardware failure, you have your replicas safe and so your data. Also, if there is any natural disaster, your data will remain secure and you can avail them pretty easily.


Scalability: The storage is massively scalable depending on the requirements. Data is automatically scaled up to accommodate any peak demands.


Security: Accessing any information by an intruder from your storage is not an easy task, and hence your data is secure. Azure Storage uses a shared key model to authenticate a user. Usage of the shared access signature (SAS) can restrict access to data.


Accessibility: You can access your data from anywhere over HTTP or HTTPS. You can write your code on Azure PowerShell or on Azure CLI. Azure Storage Explorer and Azure portal provide you an easy way to work with your data.


Azure Storage Types


There are four primary Azure Storage types with an additional disk storage.


Azure blob storage: It is optimized to store huge unstructured data. Storage is in terms of binary large objects (BLOBs).


Azure table storage: It has now become a part of Azure Cosmo DB. Azure table stores structured NoSQL data.


Azure file storage: It is a fully managed file sharing service in the cloud or on-premise via the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.


Azure queue storage: It is a storage service that stores messages that can be accessed through HTTP or HTTPS from any part of the globe.


Disk storage: It is a virtual hard disk (VHD) which is of two types: managed and unmanaged.



We will discuss in brief related to all Azure Storage with our next blog

What is STP? - Explain Advantages and Disadvantages

The Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. STP is a protocol. It actively monitors all links of the network. To finds a redundant link, it uses an algorithm, known as the STA (spanning-tree algorithm). The STA algorithm first creates a topology database then it finds and disables the redundant links. Once redundant links are disabled, only the STP-chosen links remain active. If a new link is added or an existing link is removed, the STP re-runs the STA algorithm and re-adjusts all links to reflect the change. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) automatically removes layer 2 switching loops by shutting down the redundant links. A redundant link is an additional link between two switches. A redundant link is usually created for backup purposes. Just like every coin has two sides, a redundant link, along with...
