Block blobs

Block blobs are used by most Azure data transfers. They can store application files (CSV, ZIP, and so on), tables used by NoSQL applications, and queues used by streaming services such as Azure ML (short for Azure Machine Learning). Throughout the examples in this book, we'll use block blobs as storage for some of our data transfers.
