Platform Fundamentals¶
This section covers the core architectural components and operational principles of the Azure Storage platform.
| Page | Description |
|---|---|
| How Azure Storage Works | Overview of control plane, data plane, and endpoint structure. |
| Storage Account Basics | Comparison of account types, namespaces, and resource hierarchy. |
| Blob Storage Basics | Introduction to object storage, containers, and access tiers. |
| File Storage Basics | Managed file shares using SMB and NFS protocols. |
| Queue and Table Basics | Simple asynchronous messaging and NoSQL key-value storage. |
| Redundancy and Durability | Data replication strategies including LRS, ZRS, and GRS. |
| Access Models | Authentication methods from Shared Keys to Managed Identities. |
| Networking and Private Access | Securing storage with firewalls, Service Endpoints, and Private Endpoints. |
| Performance and Scaling | Understanding limits, partitioning, and throughput optimization. |
