Azure Files

Azure Files is a fully managed file share in the cloud. a file share is a centralized server for storage that allows multiple connections. (It's like having one big shared drive that everyone (Virtual Machines) can work on at the same time.)

To connect to the file share a network protocol is used:

• Server Message Block (SMB)
• Network File System (NFS) When a connection is established, the file share's filesystem will be accessible in the specific directory within your own directory tree. This is known as mounting.
