Azure - Blob (files of any format)

This page is about Blob in Azure.

They are stored in their azure storage file system.

The storage service offers three types of blobs:

• block blobs,
• append blobs,
• and page blobs.

You specify the blob type when you create the blob. Once the blob has been created, its type cannot be changed

Each version of the blob has a unique tag, called an ETag
