Azure Storage Services

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__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
  • azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
  • azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

CLI Fallback

bash
# 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
