Blob Storage and Containers

 Blob Storage and Containers

Step 1 : Create a Storage account.

In the search bar, search for Storage Account.


Step 2 : Click on Create.


Step 3 : Add Details.


* Preferred Storage Type :
Blob Storage and Data Lakes : For Blob Storage
Azure Files : For File share
Other : For Tables and Queues 


* Performance : 

1) Standard : general purpose no option to select account type


Provides more options for Redundancy selection




2) Premium : gives option to select account type


by default : 
A) Page blobs : 
You can only create page blobs
used for virtual machines where we need random access to different pages.

Other Options :
B) Block Blobs :
Can only create block blobs

C) File Share :
Can only create file share


Less options for Redundancy Selection.


If you select file share it provides facility to select zones.


Click next and come to the advanced section


Blob storage stores data in unorganized format. If you check on Enable hierarchical namespace it will store the data in hierarchy.


Click next.


In networking tab it will let you select who can access storage account and how they can access it.
* Public network access scope : 
1) Public :
This lets anyone from basically anywhere on the internet surf to the URL that my blobs and containers are in

2) Selected Virtual networks and IP addresses :
have to add virtual networks.
virtual networks for company offices, for example. People over the internet can come to this storage account and upload and download files, but only if you're one of the specific company offices.

3) Private access :
can only be accessed from the cloud.


Click next.


* Data Protection :
1) Soft delete option : Lets you set the limit of days that until how many days you can retrive the data after deleting.


* Enable Versioning for Blobs :
Automatically keeps the previous versions of blobs whenever it is modified or deleted.

* Enable Blob Change Feed :
The Change Feed keeps a log of all changes (create, modify, delete) to your blobs.
It helps you track activity and audit changes across your storage account.

* Enable Version level immutability :
Adds extra protection for old blob versions making them immutable.
If you want to prove what the blob looked like at a specific time (for auditing or compliance).
If you want to prevent tampering with older versions.


Click Next. 
* Encryption :
1) MMK : default keys
2) CMK : user defined keys

Click Review + Create.




Click Create.


Step 4 : Click on go to resource.



Step 5 : Go to the Containers section from sidebar. And click on Add Container.


Step 6 : Add Details.

The container name must start with a letter or number, use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and avoid consecutive hyphens.
Click Create.

Step 7 : Click on container name.


Step 8 : Click on upload file.


Step 9 : Select files to upload.


Click Upload.


Click on the file name.


This is the url from which you can access the data.

Module : 3 Get Started with Machine Learning in Azure Machine learning drives today’s AI by turning data into insights for predictions and recommendations. Creating an ML solution requires key decisions that affect cost, speed, and quality. Using Microsoft Azure, the process follows six main steps: Define the Problem: Decide what to predict and how to measure success. Get the Data: Find and access reliable data sources. Prepare the Data: Clean, explore, and format the data for modeling. Train the Model: Choose algorithms and adjust parameters. Integrate the Model: Deploy it to generate predictions. Monitor the Model: Track performance and retrain as needed. Machine learning is an ongoing process. Models evolve as data changes. Step 1: Define the Problem The first step in building a machine learning (ML) solution is to define the problem. You need to clearly understand what you want the model to predict and how you will measure success. Key Considerations Model output: What result shoul...

Module : 12   Overview of Information Extraction * Information extraction is a process that uses AI to pull structured data from unstructured or semi-structured documents, like receipts, invoices, forms, and scanned files. It combines computer vision, OCR, and machine learning or generative AI. * Key Steps in an Information Extraction Pipeline 1. Text Detection & Extraction (OCR) - It uses computer vision to find text areas in an image. - The system extracts raw text from scanned or image-based documents. 2. Value Identification & Mapping It maps the OCR text to specific data fields using: - Machine learning - Rule-based mapping - Generative AI (in newer solutions) Example From a scanned receipt, the system extracts fields such as: - Vendor - Date - Subtotal - Tax - Total * Choosing the Right Approach When designing an information extraction solution, consider: Document Characteristics - Layout consistency - Fixed templates lead to simple, rule-based extraction - Many forma...

Module : 10  Introduction to Computer Vision Concepts  Computer Vision Tasks & Techniques   * What is Computer Vision? Computer vision uses AI techniques to process and understand visual input such as: - Images   - Videos   - Live camera streams   - It enables machines to "see" and interpret visual information.   1. Image Classification   - This predicts a single label for an entire image.   - The model is trained using many labeled images.   - For example, a smart grocery checkout can identify an apple, orange, or banana from a single item placed on a scale.   - Use case: Recognizing the main subject in an image.   2. Object Detection   - This identifies multiple objects in a single image.   It returns:   - Object labels   - Bounding box coordinates   - For example, a checkout system can detect all fruits placed together....
