Question

What is the difference between Azure Block Blob and Page Blob?

Answer 1

Block blobs are usually used for maintaining large amounts of data. Each of these blobs identifies by a blob ID. Each block can be a different size, up to a maximum of 100 MB (4 MB for requests using REST versions before 2016-05-31), and a block blob can include up to 50,000 blocks.

Page blobs are basically just a collection of 512 byte pages that are essentially required for read and write functions. While creating it it is necessary to specify the size of the page blob. The backup of these is created in the Azure Virtual disk.
