I am looking into using azure blob storage for storing large number of small size images size ranging in 10k to 100k. details below. thanks for your comments!
requirements. 1. Upload/download requires authorization, and tracking per customer. 2. downloads http friendly 3. eventually - number of images can go to million+. storage cost may matter.
this thread answered the 1-2. I was reading on the msdn to find out whether block blob has any min size. that is if the file is 10k, it may still consume say min 64k. I did not get conclusive answer. I found one blog mentioning 64k min size but it is not very obvious. hence, the question!
in other words - I am wondering if you store a image of size say 10k in azure block blob - will it consume 10k storage or more?
