Description:

  • Azure’s version of a Bucket
  • A group of Azure’s Azure Blob
  • Must be unique within the storage account
  • Public access level:
    • The access level specifies whether the container and its blobs can be accessed publicly.
    • By default, container data is private and visible only to the account owner.
    • There are three access level choices:
      • Private: (Default) Prohibit anonymous access to the container and blobs.
      • Blob: Allow anonymous public read access for the blobs only.
      • Container: Allow anonymous public read and list access to the entire container, including the blobs.
        • only if anonymous access has been allowed for the storage account.
        • Anonymous access is controlled at the container level, not for individual blobs.
        • So, if you want to secure some of the files, you need to put them in a separate container that doesn’t permit public read access.
