You are configuring storage for an Azure-based image-classification project. The workflow will ingest millions of 4-MB JPEG files generated daily by a line of IoT cameras. Each file must be stored cost-effectively as an unstructured binary object so that downstream analytics notebooks can fetch the data over HTTPS. Which Azure storage service best meets these requirements?
Azure Blob Storage is Microsoft's object-storage offering, purpose-built for massive volumes of unstructured data such as photos, videos, and log files. It exposes objects over HTTP/HTTPS and scales automatically, making it the preferred choice for image repositories and data-lake workloads. Azure Files provides SMB/NFS file shares for lift-and-shift applications, not object storage. Azure Disk Storage supplies block-level volumes that attach to virtual machines, while Azure Table Storage is a NoSQL key-attribute store for structured data. Because the scenario calls for scalable object storage of binary images, Blob Storage is the correct option.
