Geo replication

Storage Local storage can be allocated on an instance bases All Web and Worker roles are stateless so local storage should only be

used for caching

Persistent storage is managed through BLOBs

NTFS VHD drive can be stored in blobs and attached to instances Tables Queues SQL Azure

Storage access Blobs, tables and queues are accessible via URLs Accessible via Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs

Uses HTTP methods : POST, GET, PUT and DELETE Requests are signed with the storage key
