Transcript

Congratulations. You’ve come to the end of Introduction to Azure Storage. Let’s review what you’ve learned.

We kicked things off with an introduction to azure storage. You learned about the core storage services in Azure and about the different storage account types that are available. You also got to see a demonstration that showed you how to create a storage account in Microsoft Azure.

We then took a look at the different storage services in a little more detail. We started with blob storage, where you learned what it is and what it offers. Next, we dove into Azure Files.

After covering Azure Files, we got into Azure queues, where you learned what Azure queues are and how to create a queue.

After learning about Azure queues, you learned about Azure tables. You learned why they are used and when to use Azure them.

We wrapped up with Azure disks. 

At this point, you should have a solid understanding of the storage offerings in Microsoft Azure.

To learn more about Microsoft Azure storage options, you can, and should, read Microsoft’s published documentation. You should also keep an eye out for new courses on Cloud Academy, because we’re always publishing new ones. Be sure to give this course a rating, and if you have any questions or comments, please let us know. Thanks for watching and happy learning.
