Please help me to solve it.

Solution

  • There should not be any difference between creating large number of containers or fewer containers with more blobs. In fact they can be of advantage of creating additional security boundaries (like public anonymous access or different SAS signatures for instance or private access) when having more organized created containers. So it has more to do with access control or total storage size. Differentiation of containers can also make it easier to recognize and also when deleting a single container. You can keep some containers with specific blobs more secure if you want by changing access level to only read access or private access.

    Partitioning in Azure blobs storage is done at the blob level, not the container level .so scalability/parallelization doesn’t effect .
