| **Azure Files** |Offers fully managed cloud file shares that you can access from anywhere via the industry standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.<br><br>You can mount Azure file shares from cloud or on-premises deployments of Windows, Linux, and macOS. | You want to "lift and shift" an application to the cloud that already uses the native file system APIs to share data between it and other applications running in Azure.<br/><br/>You want to replace or supplement on-premises file servers or NAS devices.<br><br> You want to store development and debugging tools that need to be accessed from many virtual machines. |
52+
| **Azure NetApp Files** | Offers a fully managed, highly available, enterprise-grade NAS service that can handle the most demanding, high-performance, low-latency workloads requiring advanced data management capabilities. Azure NetApp Files is built on NetApp's bare metal with ONTAP storage OS running inside the Azure datacenter for a consistent Azure experience and an on-premises like performance. | You have a difficult-to-migrate workload such as POSIX-compliant Linux and Windows applications, SAP HANA, databases, high-performance compute (HPC) infrastructure and apps, and enterprise web applications. <br></br> You require upport for multiple file-storage protocols in a single service, including NFSv3, NFSv4.1, and SMB3.1.x, enables a wide range of application lift-and-shift scenarios, with no need for code changes. |
5153
| **Azure Blobs** | Allows unstructured data to be stored and accessed at a massive scale in block blobs.<br/><br/>Also supports [Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2](../blobs/data-lake-storage-introduction.md) for enterprise big data analytics solutions. | You want your application to support streaming and random access scenarios.<br/><br/>You want to be able to access application data from anywhere.<br/><br/>You want to build an enterprise data lake on Azure and perform big data analytics. |
5254
| **Azure Disks** | Allows data to be persistently stored and accessed from an attached virtual hard disk. | You want to "lift and shift" applications that use native file system APIs to read and write data to persistent disks.<br/><br/>You want to store data that is not required to be accessed from outside the virtual machine to which the disk is attached. |
5355
| **Azure Queues** | Allows for asynchronous message queueing between application components. | You want to decouple application components and use asynchronous messaging to communicate between them.<br><br>For guidance around when to use Queue storage versus Service Bus queues, see [Storage queues and Service Bus queues - compared and contrasted](../../service-bus-messaging/service-bus-azure-and-service-bus-queues-compared-contrasted.md). |
