Azure storage

Azure Storage is a cloud storage solution. It also provides the storage foundation for Azure Virtual Machines and is accessible from anywhere in the world, from any type of application and any type of device. Azure storage is using blob store to store its metadata.

In case of the user having/using a German cloud (dedicated and isolated Microsoft Azure version for Germany), the Azure storage account name must contain the .core.cloudapi.de suffix. This is displayed in Azure configuration, when the user creates the storage.
