Course content

1 section • 12 lectures • 1h 18m total length

  • Intro and Instructor Bio1:39

    Meet Azure storage essentials as a cloud solutions architect who covers Azure compute, storage, networking, security, and Azure AD with identity and access management.

  • Azure storage and data services3:16

    Learn Azure storage essentials with a focus on blobs and files, exploring queues, tables, disks, and Data Lake Storage Gen2, plus storage accounts, REST APIs, and developer libraries.

  • Azure Blobs8:05

    Explore Azure blob storage as object storage for text and files. Create storage accounts and containers to host blobs, including block, append, and page blobs.

  • Azure Files4:36

    Explore azure files, a fully managed cloud file share accessible via SMB and REST API, acting as a cloud file server with on-prem like performance via azure file sync.

  • Azure Queues2:09

    Explore azure queues, a storage service for millions of messages up to 64 kilobytes, enabling asynchronous processing and https authentication for access via account and queue names like images.

  • Azure Tables2:47

    Explore Azure tables, a structured, non-relational sql data store for large web-scale datasets with authenticated access. Store entities, run queries with a clustered index, and access data via .net libraries.

  • Azure Disks6:30

    Explore Azure storage essentials by understanding managed discs for VMs, including OS disk, temporary disk, and data disks, their sizes and persistence, and types like Ultra and Premium SSD V2.

  • Storage account types & access tiers10:01

    Explore how the Azure storage account provides a unique namespace and endpoints, with standard general purpose v2 and premium options for blobs, files, and disks, plus hot, cool, and archive tiers.

  • Storage account redundancy11:47

    Compare azure storage redundancy options—lrs, zrs, grs, gzrs—and how they copy data across zones and regions to affect durability.

  • Read access to the secondary region9:39

    Explore read access to the secondary region in Azure storage, weighing pricing versus availability and durability, and examine replication across paired regions for blobs, queues, and tables.

  • Azure storage pricing12:28

    Explore Azure storage pricing for blob storage and data lake, covering hot, cool, and archive tiers and redundancy options. Compare pay-as-you-go versus enterprise pricing and see operation costs.

  • Recap5:26

    Explore Azure storage essentials, including storage accounts and data services such as blobs, queues, tables, and disks, with premium options, access tiers, and four redundancy strategies from LRS to GZRS.

Requirements

  • No storage experience required. You will learn all about Azure storage from scratch.

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.
