Azure Storage Essentials, Learn it all Azure Storage Fundamentals.
Course Description
This course teaches you about Azure storage account types, data services, access tiers, redundancy, and pricing. These are fundamental concepts of Azure storage. Understanding these concepts will pave the way to mastering Azure storage once you delve into blobs, files, queues, and tables.
The Azure Storage platform is Microsoft’s cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. Azure Storage offers highly available, massively scalable, durable, and secure storage for various data objects in the cloud. Azure Storage data objects are accessible from anywhere worldwide over HTTP or HTTPS via a REST API. Azure Storage also offers client libraries for developers building applications or services with .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript, C++, and Go. Developers and IT professionals can use Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI to write scripts for data management or configuration tasks. In addition, the Azure portal and Azure Storage Explorer provide user-interface tools for interacting with Azure Storage.
If you are new to the cloud, this course is for you. If you are switching from other cloud providers, this course will help you understand how Microsoft does it differently or similarly. It is always fun to compare solutions from different vendors.
This course starts with defining what Azure storage is, then delving into data services, the different storage account types, and what they are for. When you store data in the cloud, you need to consider performance and pricing; this is what the access tiers topic explains.
One of my favorites is redundancy options; I know people need help to understand the concept. If you read the Microsoft document on redundancy 3 times, I bet you won’t get the guest of it! With the help of Visio and PowerPoint, I made it super easy to grasp the concept; it’s so easy. I promise.
Enjoy the course.
