Stores a cached version of your application on an edge node. Provides better performance and improved user experience, scales to handle larger volumes of traffic, and protects your backend application from high loads. | Content Delivery Network (CDN) |
A direct link between on-prem and Azure. Provides a private, secure, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection between Azure Cloud and on-prem resources. | ExpressRoute |
Globally unique Azure namespace for your data in the Azure Cloud. | Storage Account |
Blob (Binary Large Object) storage is organized into _______ within storage accounts. | containers |
Versatile storage technology that can store any type of file, can support video and audio streaming, and can be used for writing log files, archives, backup, restore and DR. | Blob storage |
Name the 3 types of Blob storage. | Block, Append, Page |
Blob Types: For storing files up to 8TB. Any part of the file can be accessed at any time, for example a virtual hard drive. | Page |
Blob Types: For storing text and binary data up to 4.7TB. Made up of individually managed blocks of data. | Block |
