Azure Blob Storage pricing based on load

As you may have noticed, storage is very cheap compared to other services, so instead of extrapolating growth over time, we can simply do our calculations based on the maximum expected size. Dealing with text files, it is unlikely that we will ever exceed even a 100 GB of storage.
