Please help me to solve it.

Thank you

  • Can you share more details about `why it is not recommended to do so ?`? You should be able to create multiple containers in a storage account. – Gaurav Mantri Apr 01 '22 at 04:48
  • You included the tag `azure-container-registry`. That makes me wonder. Are you referring to blob containers or "compute" containers in your question? – Peter Bons Apr 01 '22 at 07:18
  • I am referring to the blob storage. – Jennie Apr 04 '22 at 03:07
  • Creating a container and sharing to people from different background. It is related to grant permission to access our container ? Different container has different purpose ? – Jennie Apr 04 '22 at 03:11

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 .
