Redundancy
LRS - Locally redundant storage has 3 copies of the data in the same building
ZRS - Zone redundant storage has 3 copies over the 3 different AZs
GRS - Geo redundant storage has 3 copies in one building of region 1 and 3 copies in one building of region 2
GZRS - Geo Zone redundant storage has 3 copies in region 1 in 3 separate buildings and 3 copies in region 2 in 3 separate buildings
Services
Blob - unstructured piece of data
Block - made up of blocks and lives in a container
access tiers: hot, cool, archive
ADLS Gen 2
