Introduction to Blob Store [backup]

Blob store is a storage solution for unstructured data. We can store photos, audios, videos, binary executable codes, or other multimedia items to a blob store. Every type of data is stored as blobBlob (binary large object) consists of a collection of binary data stored as a sigle unit.. It follows a flat data organization pattern where there are no hierarchies (directories, sub-directories, etc.).

Mostly, it is used by the applications with a particular business requirement called WORM (Write Once, Read Many), which states that data can only be written once and that no one can change it. As in Microsoft Azure, the blobs are created once, read many times, can not be deleted until a specified interval, and can not be modified to protect critical data.
