A team needs to store large numbers of images, video files, and backup archives so that applications can read and write them through a cloud storage API. Which Azure storage service is designed for this kind of unstructured data?
- AAzure Blob storage Correct
- BAzure Files
- CAzure Table storage
- DAzure Queue storage
Why A is correct: Correct. Azure Blob storage stores massive amounts of unstructured data as binary large objects (blobs) that applications read and write through the Blob storage API, making it the fit for images, video, and archives.
Why B is wrong: Azure Files provides cloud network file shares mounted over SMB or NFS, not an object store accessed through a Blob API.
Why C is wrong: Table storage holds semi-structured key/value rows, not arbitrary binary objects such as images or video.
Why D is wrong: Queue storage holds messages for asynchronous processing between application components, not large binary files.
