Azure Blob Storage is a cloud-based storage service provided by Microsoft for storing and accessing large amounts of unstructured data in the cloud. It offers highly scalable and durable storage for various types of data, including documents, images, videos, and backups. To connect to Azure Blob Storage, users need to create a storage account in the Azure portal and configure it. They must provide a connection string, which includes the storage account name and the account access key, to authenticate and access the Blob Storage resources.
