Page blobs

Page blobs are a type of storage used in cloud computing, specifically in Microsoft Azure, designed for large, random-access files like virtual machine disks or databases. Unlike regular blobs, page blobs are optimized for reading and writing small portions of data quickly, making them suitable for applications requiring frequent changes. They are structured into 512-byte pages, which can be updated independently, allowing high efficiency for dynamic data. This makes page blobs ideal for scenarios where storage needs to be both large and highly accessible, ensuring performance and flexibility in managing consistent, high-speed data operations.
