![]() Transaction optimized file shares are a great fit for applications that require file storage or for backend storage. Transaction optimized file shares enable transaction heavy workloads that don’t need the latency offered by premium file shares with consistent latency. Premium file shares are offered on high-performance solid-state drive (SSD) based storage. ![]() Premium file shares enable highly I/O-intensive workloads, with high throughput and low latency. The details of the different Tier types are: Tier Once we click on Create, Azure will deploy and generate a new file share. Once under File shares, click + to deploy a new file share. Provide a share name and tier that you want to use. Since File Share is a feature of Azure Storage, we need to log on to Storage account and click on File shares under the Data storage section. Now we are ready to create the Azure File Share. Since I provided “javacodeupload” as a storage account name, Azure created this storage account, showing this name at the top of the main detail page. Once reviewed, you can click on the Create button. The system will ask you to review your settings. Use options that will be most beneficial yet cost-effective for the business/ application.Īfter making all the required configuration settings for the storage account, click the Review + create button. The figure below has been annotated to describe each item that the user needs to fill out. Users should fill out the form based on their subscription. You will be presented with the “Create a storage account” form to fill so that storage account can be deployed. First, log on to Azure Portal and click on Storage Accounts from the Azure services.Ĭlick on the “+” button to create a new account. We will then see how to add and mount this Azure file share in an Azure VM. In this section, we will create an Azure File Storage account. The next section will show how we can create Azure file share that a client/ application can use. This article aims not to show what Application 2 does with the files but rather how a file is being moved from Application 1 VM to Azure File Share. Application 2 VM also shares the same Azure file share, and once a file is received in the share, Application 2 can further initiate a business transaction. Application 1 has an Azure file share as a mapped drive and stores all these received files in this share. The diagram below shows that files are being received from multiple sources by Application 1. These shares are provided as a drive that can then be mounted on an Application 1 VM. Azure Files helps provide enterprises with a high-performing and highly available network file shares (NFS) solution. Using this storage option, we can achieve the requirements stated in the first scenario. We need to design a solution in such a way that files can be moved from multiple sources to inexpensive cloud storage and migrate the on-prem content to cloud storage. Data files, media files, and document files are huge in size and must be saved for archival purposes. The storage also needs to be moved from expensive on-premises NAS storage to inexpensive cloud storage. There is a content management solution that an organization wants to move to the cloud. A large set of data and content needs to be stored in inexpensive cloud storage The requirement is to store files in such a way that the files can be accessed from anywhere using the SMB protocol. Application 2 polls on this shared location, and once any files are found, initiates workflow to process these files further. This location needs to be in the cloud (Azure Storage) and is replacing the organization’s current NAS device. There two scenarios we will be discussing in this article are: An application needs to store files in a shared location for further processingĪpplication 1 receives many data/files from multiple sources and stores these files in a shared location. The Introduction to the core Azure Storage services describes these features in more detail. As the usage and cost are different for both types of storage, they should be used judiciously. Azure Blob can be used where a vast amount of data needs to be stored and accessed. We can mount Azure Files on a cloud or on-prem VM. ![]() Azure Files typically can be used to replace an enterprise’s on-prem file server or NAS devices. This article will go through how we can use two main features of Azure Storage – Azure Files and Azure Blobs. ![]() Azure provides different storage solutions that enterprises can use.
