What is Azure Blob Storage?

Azure blob storage is a cloud storage solution by Microsoft Azure that enables storing and using large amounts of unstructured data. Data stored in Blob Storage can be accessed globally through internet and API calls. The data can either be kept hidden or available just for an app or is made public for all.

How Azure Blob Storage is used?

It is primarily used to store and access binary large objects (Blobs) – generally known as files. It can store persistent cloud-based data that is mainly used by applications hosted on Azure Cloud Services or any other cloud platform/

Common uses of Azure Blob Storage include:

  • Serving images or documents directly to a browser
  • Storing files for distributed access
  • Streaming video and audio
  • Performing secure backup and disaster recovery
  • Storing data for analysis by an on-premises or Azure-hosted service

What to monitor in Blob Storage?

The key performance metrics and process that define and ensures performance of Azure Blob Storage are;

  • Availability of Blob Storage
  • Success Percentage of Blob (Read / Write)
  • And total requests made to the blob
  • Monitoring blob storage capacity
