azure-storage
Serviços de Armazenamento do Azure, incluindo Blob Storage, File Shares, Queue Storage, Table Storage e Data Lake. Responde perguntas sobre camadas de acesso ao armazenamento (hot, cool, cold, archive), quando usar cada camada e comparação entre camadas. Fornece armazenamento de objetos, compartilhamentos de arquivos SMB, mensageria assíncrona, NoSQL chave-valor e análise de big data. Inclui gerenciamento de ciclo de vida. USE PARA: blob storage, file shares, queue storage, table storage, data lake, upload de arquivos, download de blobs, contas de armazenamento, camadas de acesso, camadas de armazenamento, hot cool cold archive, comparação de camadas de armazenamento, quando usar camadas de armazenamento, gerenciamento de ciclo de vida, conceitos de Armazenamento do Azure. NÃO USE PARA: bancos de dados SQL, Cosmos DB (use azure-prepare), mensageria com Event Hubs ou Service Bus (use azure-messaging).

MCP Server (Preferred)
When Azure MCP is enabled:
azure__storagewith commandstorage_account_list- List storage accountsazure__storagewith commandstorage_container_list- List containers in accountazure__storagewith commandstorage_blob_list- List blobs in containerazure__storagewith commandstorage_blob_get- Download blob contentazure__storagewith commandstorage_blob_put- Upload blob content
If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

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 |
