03 Storage Account Overview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClqZ1j_7NY4

Tables

Configured in portal - storage account.

Used by NoSQL. Table is schemaless.

It is disabled by default, and if you try to create a table, it fails with a permissions error.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/tables/assign-azure-role-data-access?tabs=powershell

says: When you create an Azure Storage account, you are not automatically assigned permissions to access data via Microsoft Entra ID. You must explicitly assign yourself an Azure role for Azure Storage. You can assign it at the level of your subscription, resource group, storage account, or table.

Storage Table Data Contributor

Edit: I have created a new account (Sandbox).

In a Storage account, go to Storage Browser - Tables to add a table (you can go to Data Storage - Tables, but there you can't edit the table contents)

Click Add Entity to add a new row to the table. Define columns and datatypes on the fly - it is schemaless so these can be changed, including on the same column in different rows.

Queues

Add a queue. Add a message to the queue. Can set to expire the messages after 7 days. You can "dequeue" the messages.

You can put anything in the messages, such as JSON code.

File shares

Create file shares. Note this doesn't seem to be allowed in the Sandbox.

Lift and shift from On-Premise file shares, to file shares in the cloud.

Me: Not sure whether file shares are available to on-premise or only to other Azure services.
