Azure storage Blob File Table Queue

Replica strategies: Locally redundant storage (LRS) Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) Geo-redundant storage (GRS) Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS)

Replica strategies

Blob Storage Serving images or documents directly to a browser Storing files for distributed access Streaming video and audio

An account can contain an unlimited number of containers. A container can store an unlimited number of blobs.

Tables

Storing TBs of structured data capable of serving web scale applications Storing datasets that don't require complex joins, foreign keys, or stored procedures

and can be denormalized for fast access Quickly querying data using a clustered index using LINQ

Queues Creating a backlog of work to process asynchronously Passing messages from an Azure web role to an Azure worker role
