The last capability of Azure Storage is Blob Storage. In the previous sections, we were using this service to store unstructured data using Table Storage, push messages to a queue with Queue Storage, and create file shares, thanks to File Storage. In the last section of this chapter, we will focus on developing solutions that store so-called blobs. You may wonder what exactly a blob is—well, there is no single definition for that. In general. blobs are files of different types, such as text files, images, or audio. You will see how to use them in your applications, how to secure them, and how you can achieve the maximum performance.
