Microsoft Azure is offers a wide range of features. This month, I decided to play with blobs stored in storage containers. By play, I mean to create, delete, list, upload, and download files in a storage container.

Why use Azure storage when we have many other means of storing data? There are many reasons but let’s just say that Azure is:

• highly Scalable being that a single storage account can store hundreds of terabytes of data
• Durable because every file stored is automatically backed up once in the same container and also in another data center not in the same geographic region
