Azure Storage account contd…

• Redundancy options:
  • Local Redundant Storage (LRS): Makes three synchronous copies of the data in the same region/datacenter
  • Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS): Makes three synchronous copies of the data in different zones with in a region.
  • Geo Redundant Storage (GRS): This is same as LRS and one asynchronous copy to the other region.
  • Read Access Geo Redundant Storage (RGRS): Same as GRS and the asynchronous copied data can be read.
  • Geo Zone Redundant Storage (GZRS): same as ZRS and one asynchronous copy of the data to other region.
  • Read Access Geo Zone Redundant Storage (RGZRS): Same GZRS and asynchronous copy can be read.
• Azure Storage Account Performance Tiers:
  • Standard:
    • Types: Page Blob, Block Blob, Queue Storage, File share, table storage
    • Redundancy:
      • LRS or ZRS
      • Geo Redundant LRS or ZRS
      • Read access Geo Redundant LRS or ZRS
  • Premium: Stores the data in performance intensive SSDs
    • Types: Page Blob, Block Blob, File Share
    • Redundancy: LRS or ZRS

Exercise:

• Create a standard storage account with ZRS redundancy with any name and region of your choice
• Create a container
• upload any two files.

Play with Powershell

• Powershell has cmd-lets.
• They will be in the form of <verb>-<noun>
• To find the cmdlets we can use Get-Command and pass a pattern into it
