What is difference between blob and container in Azure?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 11:53 am

Blob and Container are two different types of storage in Azure. Blobs are a more lightweight storage option that can be used to store individual pieces of data.

Containers, on the other hand, are a more robust storage option that can be used to store applications, services, and workloads.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that blob and container are two different types of storage in Azure. A blob can be a file or a folder while a container can only be a folder. Be sure to use the appropriate type of storage for your needs.

Blob storage is advantageous in that it is very fast and can be used to store small pieces of data. Container storage, on the other hand, is advantageous in that it is more robust and can be used to store larger pieces of data.

Additionally, containers can be orchestrated and managed using tools such as Azure Container Service.
