For a conceptual overview of blob storage, see [the .NET guide for blob storage](/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-dotnet). For ease, these tutorials use [connection strings](/azure/storage/storage-configure-connection-string) to authenticate with Azure. For optimal security, you should use Microsoft Entra ID with [managed identities](/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/).

## F#-friendly alternatives

While this article uses the standard Azure Storage Client Library for .NET, F# developers might also consider the [FSharp.Azure.Blob](https://github.com/random82/FSharp.Azure.Blob) library, which provides a more idiomatic F# API for working with Azure Blob Storage. This community library offers F#-friendly functions and patterns that can make blob operations more natural for F# developers.

## Prerequisites

To use this guide, you must first [create an Azure storage account](/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create). You also need your storage access key for this account.
