2022-03-21T21:51:39.13+00:00 An Azure Storage Account is not IaaS or PaaS because it is not a "service". An Azure Storage Account is a container for one of the Azure storage solutions; Azure Disk Storage(IaaS), Azure Blob Storage(PaaS), and Azure File Storage(SaaS).

2021-01-06T16:21:30.937+00:00 In my mind Azure Storage is a PaaS solution (since you do not have to manage os updates, load balancing, performance allocation etc). You are provided with a rest api, and you act against that rest api. IaaS storage would be a storage inside virtual machine(s). Since you have to manage the VMs in order for that storage to work.
