Creating Storage

Learn about storage accounts and different types of storage mechanisms in Azure.

Why Azure Storage?

In the previous lesson, we created the software environment required for ML solutions. We also need to address a critical aspect—storage. We will explore Azure Storage services in this section. Azure Storage provides highly available, scalable, and secure storage services using a diversified set of datastores.

Advantages of using Azure Storage services:

  • High availability: Redundancy and replication across multiple data centers ensures that the data is highly available.

  • Security: Data is encrypted when stored at Azure Storage services. Azure also provides control over storage permissions.

  • Scalability: Azure provides data scalability and manages the performance of highly scaled data.

  • Accessible: Azure databases can be accessed using HTTP and HTTPS URLs. The storage services also support friendly SDKs in several languages.
