Question 30
You need a storage solution in Azure that supports binary data. Your application will receive multiple GBs per day of images and videos, and needs to store it some place for later access. Each video or image will have a unique key, and that key will be later used to retrieve the correct data. You need a solution that is optimized to store these types of data, can handle the transaction volume easily, can label each image/video by a unique key, and is not expensive. Which non-relational data store do you recommend?
- A Table Storage
- B Cosmos DB
- C Azure Blob Storage
- D Azure SQL Database
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Azure Blob Storage is the best place to store binary data such as images, videos and other files. If you later need to reference it in a database, you might want to just provide a file name in the data table and leave the data in the storage account. SQL Database, Cosmos DB and Table Storage are not designed for storing large amounts of binary data such as videos.
