Types

• Block (ADLSGen2 (hierarchical namespace)(NFS/SFTP))
  • By default these are flat (might show folders etc, but are not actually folders)/ but we can enable hierarchical namespace
• Page (Random - For OS/VM data disks,etc.)
• Append (for logs)

Table

flowchart RL
Entities-Key:Value --> Table

Queue

flowchart RL
Messages --> Queue

• Used for some event driven things. Like: App writes to blob. It also puts a message in queue. A function reads the message in queue, then reads from the blob and does whatever

App ---> |Image| Blob 
App ---> |Message|Queue --> |Event| Function 
Blob -.-> |ReadBlob|Function

• Not guaranteed fifo

Files
