Azure Storage Services

Services

| Service | Use When | MCP Tools | CLI | |---------|----------|-----------|-----| | Blob Storage | Objects, files, backups, static content | azure__storage | az storage blob | | File Shares | SMB file shares, lift-and-shift | - | az storage file | | Queue Storage | Async messaging, task queues | - | az storage queue | | Table Storage | NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB) | - | az storage table | | Data Lake | Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace | - | az storage fs |

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

CLI Fallback

bash
# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

Storage Account Tiers

| Tier | Use Case | Performance | |------|----------|-------------| | Standard | General purpose, backup | Milliseconds | | Premium | Databases, high IOPS | Sub-millisecond |

Blob Access Tiers

| Tier | Access Frequency | Cost | |------|-----------------|------| | Hot | Frequent | Higher storage, lower access | | Cool | Infrequent (30+ days) | Lower storage, higher access | | Cold | Rare (90+ days) | Lower still | | Archive | Rarely (180+ days) | Lowest storage, rehydration required |

Redundancy Options

| Type | Durability | Use Case | |------|------------|----------| | LRS | 11 nines | Dev/test, recreatable data | | ZRS | 12 nines | Regional high availability | | GRS | 16 nines | Disaster recovery | | GZRS | 16 nines | Best durability |
