Summary

Congratulations!

In this module, you learned how to use Azure Blob Storage to store web app data. You followed these steps:

1. You discovered tips for creating a strategy to use Blob Storage in a web app.

2. You learned how to use the Azure Storage SDK to list, write to and read from blobs.

3. You created an app that accepts uploaded files from users, stores them in Blob Storage, and makes them available for download.

4. You deployed the app to Azure App Service.

Further Reading

• Index data from Azure Blob Storage using Azure Cognitive Search
• Naming and Referencing Containers, Blobs, and Metadata
• Security recommendations for Blob storage
• Configure an ASP.NET Core app for Azure App Service
• Configure a Java app for Azure App Service

Clean up

The sandbox automatically cleans up your resources when you're finished with this module.

When you're working in your own subscription, it's a good idea at the end of a project to identify whether you still need the resources you created. Resources that you leave running can cost you money. You can delete resources individually or delete the resource group to delete the entire set of resources.

Check your knowledge
