 The next problem we're going to solve is I've got these really cool pictures here for my new app and I want to host them somewhere And I want my application to grab those images from an HTTPS capable source and I want it to What I want to do is is always be there because I don't want when my My application or my website needs to do a Call to its origin. I don't want it to happen on my server because My application is doing enough providing that I should say the server is doing enough providing the application to you if your app on top of Doing whatever processing of information or serving whatever it is your app may do On top of that if you want people going to your app as well and pulling images directly from the origin server It's not really gonna help Performance and so I like to think of this example is a really great one What's really cool is what we can make use of is blob storage in kind of the same way that we just did So we're not even going to deploy it In the way we did before What we're going to deploy it the code is we're basically going to drag and drop So the point right here is to show you that these fundamentals associated with Azure give you really really Just basic tools to to do simple or complex problems Let's offset some of that storage requirement and let's take these pictures So what have I got here? So my new web application It it's very important that this is part of it this picture of Rico it Absolutely must be part of the application. It's needs to be always in the app 24-7. It can't ever go down So that's something that we can do Easily by storing this picture sweet baby Rico inside of our blob storage container, so We've already created a blob storage container, but I'm gonna make a new one for you I'm gonna start from scratch. So within my resource group. We're gonna go back to this the Rico info one And but what we're gonna do here is we are going to click add So we'll be able to go in here and this is the marketplace This is where you can basically find almost anything as you're related that you want. It's everything actually Anything you want to build with Azure almost anything if you want to build a WordPress site like I'm talking about you can If you need a my sequel if you need the SQL server if you want a web app For simple web hosting if you need a Kubernetes cluster, we've got all that stuff here But today what we're gonna do is storage account Well, you'll see here storage count blob file table queue Those are our different types of storage that we can build with it So Microsoft Azure provides scalable durable cloud storage backup and recovery solutions for any big or small Any data big or small it works with the infrastructure You already have to have cost effectively enhance your existing applications business continuity Strategy and provide storage required with you get me you can read the rest that if you like All you have to do is bring that up Pricing take a look at it real quick because I don't know how much most of this stuff costs I like to just teach you about it. That's really really really cheap Rico we're gonna host you for next to nothing. Okay, so The block blobs very inexpensive if you're doing it with a three-year reserve capacity I'm not gonna be using three years, but if I wanted to I can go here I could do some pricing on the kind of storage I need We can see here first terabyte of hot storage premium storage cool. I mean there's different levels. So premium Gives us access to block blobs and a pen blobs low latency Hot means you're gonna use it all the time Cool means you don't really need it that often but you may access it once in a while Archive think of it like backups. They give it like More than backups think about it literally as cold storage kind of what archive storage is you can get it But it's gonna cost you more and you can see it's a little bit What you actually end up paying a little bit more for is the restore the actual saving everything is super inexpensive Because you can see it's way cheaper than the actual Premium and in fact that's on purpose So we've got reserve capacity, but like I said, we're gonna focus on a blob. So What we're going to do we'll go back to our storage account here and we're gonna click create So we need to have a storage account name This is going to be just a logical name for where things are gonna be kept in this case I'm just going to call it Rico app We can pick where we want our app Data to be stored Where our storage account will live and so I'm gonna pick east u.s. Cuz I'm New York City all day They they our performance is different types of storage. We want to use and so in this case I'm just gonna use standard. They're also premium. We saw the pricing we talked about the account kind So let's look What kind of storage do we want to create? Well, I want to create a blob. So blob storage and the replication read access geo redundant so we're gonna just Choose it and I'm going to pick locally redundant LRS storage If you want to figure out more about locally redundant LRS storage go to this documentation here okay, so We'll go to networking and we're gonna leave this access tier just to make sure it's hot hot means we're getting the data We're using this storage So we don't want to have it in cool. That'll be a different tier So you can see So we want to make sure you see the cool access tier is not ideal for infrequently access data Is ideal? I should say is ideal for infrequently So you want to use hot for frequently accessed and cool for infrequently So it'd be also smart to throw a cache like a CDN on top of stuff like this We'll talk about that after networking. So we can choose where The image is available to right now. We're gonna leave it to public so that we can make it HTTP Capable the world can get it just by a a web call So next we'll go to advanced it gives us whether or not everything has to be HTTPS in this case We'll say yes soft blob delete when it's just turned on and enables you to save and recover your blob data we've got a Share versioning versioning may be useful for some of you I always felt the same the best versioning was incrementing my file names. That's just me You do what you want. We've got hierarchical namespace We can look at that even then if that's 3 we're not going to be using that either. So we'll click review and create and Once we do that, we'll be able to then create our Blob storage space. So let's go We'll submit to Plymouth create our storage base We'll see our deployment being completed. I love this about Azure So I'm an opt person and I like to know what's going on. I'm just I'm a control freak What can I tell you? so The thing that's going on right here is I love being able to see what's going on in the background when you're deploying something It is one of my favorite things about Azure is that we actually show you the operation details of what's going on and We tell you when it's done. So we'll go to our resource We've got our storage account and now we can go here to containers We're gonna create a container We'll change it to Anonymous read access for containers and blob and we're just gonna name it We go pick okay create Now this is creating a container for us within this RICO app thing to store. So it's like a directory So now when I click on RICO pick Let me show you now we can actually upload images So let's upload this picture this adorable little picture RICO. Okay, so we'll select Right here. I'll drop this right here There's a selects the picture RICO open So so there's advanced we can use our authentication account if we want to we can even change the the tier The block size even a specific folder, but we'll click upload So it's uploaded my file right here and Like our static website that we went to before we can see when we click on the actual we've got our URL here Our version information everything we need We're not gonna click edit, but what we can do is click here to copy to clipboard and there's our picture. It's online. It's on the web I can now Refer to this image in my my application if I want to
