Blobs: – They are used to store large objects like images, audio, video etc. Tables: – They are used to store durable and scalable data structure. Tables consist of entities and entities have properties. Figure: – Table structure Queues: – Queues are used enable asynchronous communication. They are enabled to store transient data in form of messages. Azure uses queues to communicate between different entities.
