Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Page Blobs and Block Blobs?
Page Blobs are optimized for random read/write operations and are ideal for IaaS virtual machine disks. Block Blobs are optimized for large sequential reads/writes and are suitable for storing media files, documents, and backups.
What does 'Locally Redundant Storage' mean?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates your data synchronously three times within a single data center in the primary region. This protects your data from local hardware failures but not from regional disasters.
Can this storage be used for production databases?
Yes, Azure Page Blobs and Disks with Standard IO can be used for production databases, especially when combined with other Azure services for high availability and disaster recovery. Performance considerations should be evaluated based on specific workload requirements.
