azure-storage
Azure Storage Services,包括Blob Storage、File Shares、Queue Storage、Table Storage和Data Lake。解答關於儲存存取層(熱、冷、酷、封存)、何時使用各層及層級比較的問題。提供物件儲存、SMB檔案共用、非同步訊息、NoSQL鍵值和大數據分析。包含生命週期管理。適用於:blob儲存、檔案共用、佇列儲存、資料表儲存、data lake、上傳檔案、下載blob、儲存帳戶、存取層、儲存層、熱冷酷封存、儲存層比較、何時使用儲存層、生命週期管理、Azure Storage概念。不適用於:SQL資料庫、Cosmos DB(使用azure-prepare)、使用Event Hubs或Service Bus的訊息傳遞(使用azure-messaging)。

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__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.
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 |
