+Blobs give you object storage in the cloud, and an API that lets you build apps to access the data.
 
 Suppose you work at an augmented-reality gaming company. Your game runs on every mobile platform. You want to add a new feature to let users record video clips of their gameplay. They can upload the clips to your servers. Users can watch clips directly in the game or through your website. You plan to log every upload and viewing for use in analytics and for traceability.
 
-You need a storage solution that can handle thousands of simultaneous uploads, massive amounts of video data, and constantly growing log files. You also need to add the viewing functionality to all your mobile apps and your website, so you want API access from multiple platforms and languages.
+You need a storage solution that can handle thousands of simultaneous uploads, massive amounts of video data, and constantly growing log files. You also need to add the viewing functionality to all your mobile apps and your website. You want API access from multiple platforms and languages.
 
 Here, you see how Azure Blob Storage could be appropriate for this app.
 
 ## Learning objectives
 
 In this module, you will:
 
-- Organize your data with Azure Blob Storage
-- Create storage resources to hold blobs
-- Store and retrieve data from Azure Blob Storage
+- Organize your data with Azure Blob Storage.
+- Create storage resources to hold blobs.
+- Store and retrieve data from Azure Blob Storage.

 Blobs are *files for the cloud*. Apps work with blobs in much the same way as they work with files on a disk. Apps read and write data to blobs. However, unlike a local file, you can reach blobs from anywhere with an internet connection.
 
-Azure Blob Storage is *unstructured*. There are no restrictions on the kinds of data it can hold. For example, a blob can hold a PDF document, a JPG image, a JSON file, video content, and more.

 Blobs aren't limited to common file formats. A blob could contain gigabytes of binary data streamed from a scientific instrument, an encrypted message for another application, or data in a custom format for an app you're developing.

 In Blob Storage, every blob lives inside a *blob container*. You can store an unlimited number of blobs in a container and an unlimited number of containers in a storage account. Containers are *flat*. They can only store blobs, not other containers.
 
-Blobs and containers support tags and metadata in the form of name-value string pairs. Your apps can use tags and metadata for anything, such as a human-readable description of a blob's contents to display or a string that your app uses to determine how to process the data.

 > [!TIP]
 > Blob Storage does not provide any mechanism for searching or sorting blobs by metadata. You can search and sort blobs by using Blob index tags. For information about using Azure Cognitive Search, see the *Further Reading* section at the end of this module.
