Azure Storage SDK Client library for Java

Azure Storage is a Microsoft-managed service providing cloud storage that is highly available, secure, durable, scalable, and redundant. Azure Storage includes Blobs (objects), Queues, and Files.

Getting started

To get started with a specific library, see the README.md file located in the library's project folder. You can find service libraries in the /sdk/storage/azure-storage-<subcomponent> directory.

Azure Storage Blob is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data that does not adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data.
Azure Storage Blob Batch allows you to batch multiple Azure Blob Storage operations in a single request.
Azure Storage Blob Cryptography supports client-side encryption for Azure Storage block blobs.
Azure Storage Queue is a service for storing large numbers of messages. A queue message can be up to 64 KB in size and a queue may contain millions of messages, up to the total capacity limit of a storage account.
Azure Storage Common provides infrastructure shared by the other Azure Storage client libraries like shared key authentication and exceptions.
Azure Storage File Share service shares are accessible via the Server Message Block (i.e. SMB) protocol, and also via REST APIs. The File Share service offers the following four resources: the storage account, shares, directories, and files. Shares provide a way to organize sets of files and also can be mounted as an SMB file share that is hosted in the cloud.
Azure Storage File Datalake is Microsoft's optimized storage solution for for big data analytics workloads. A fundamental part of Data Lake Storage Gen2 is the addition of a hierarchical namespace to Blob storage. The hierarchical namespace organizes objects/files into a hierarchy of directories for efficient data access.
