Azure ब्लॉब स्टोरेज, फ़ाइल शेयर, क्यू, टेबल और डेटा लेक सेवाओं तक एकीकृत पहुँच। पाँच स्टोरेज सेवा प्रकारों का समर्थन करता है: ऑब्जेक्ट और बैकअप के लिए ब्लॉब स्टोरेज, SMB पहुँच के लिए फ़ाइल शेयर, एसिंक्रोनस मैसेजिंग के लिए क्यू स्टोरेज, NoSQL की-वैल्यू डेटा के लिए टेबल स्टोरेज, और बड़े डेटा एनालिटिक्स के लिए डेटा लेक। MCP सर्वर टूल स्टोरेज अकाउंट, कं

Azure Storage Services

Services

Service	Use When	MCP Tools	CLI
Blob Storage	Objects, files, backups, static content	`azure__storage`	`az storage blob`
File Shares	SMB file shares, lift-and-shift	-	`az storage file`
Queue Storage	Async messaging, task queues	-	`az storage queue`
Table Storage	NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB)	-	`az storage table`
Data Lake	Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace	-	`az storage fs`

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

CLI Fallback

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

Storage Account Tiers

Tier	Use Case	Performance
Standard	General purpose, backup	Milliseconds
Premium	Databases, high IOPS	Sub-millisecond

Blob Access Tiers

Tier	Access Frequency	Cost
Hot	Frequent	Higher storage, lower access
Cool	Infrequent (30+ days)	Lower storage, higher access
Cold	Rare (90+ days)	Lower still
Archive	Rarely (180+ days)	Lowest storage, rehydration required

Redundancy Options

Type	Durability	Use Case
LRS	11 nines	Dev/test, recreatable data
ZRS	12 nines	Regional high availability
GRS	16 nines	Disaster recovery
GZRS	16 nines	Best durability
