Types – Storage accounts are of three types – V2 (most general purpose), V1 (hardly used anymore) and Blob Storage (can only store blobs – no table storage etc).

Replication

1. LRS (Locally redundant – always triple redundant within a datacenter)
2. Geo Redundant
3. Read-Access GeoRedudant

Tiers – HOT or COOL (Archive can only be set LATER)

Additional Security Options

– Bind to a VNET

Secure Transfer only

Step 2  – Adding a BLOB

Once the  storage account is ready, add a new CONTAINER (BLOB).

Access type – Private (useful for BACKUPS being stored to BLOBS), Anonymous read for BLOBS only (is the second option).
