Hi There, As part of our Azure cloud migration, I am looking into using Blob Storage for storing raw raster data and well as storing caches.

As per my current understanding Azure Blob Storage is more of key/value pair and doesn't support nested structure within a container. Esri recommends structuring data folder like this below. 

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/imagery/workflows/best-practices/data-structure.htm
DataType\Source\Type\Geography\Date 

For example: Satellite\GeoEye\GeoEye1\Europe\2001

I am curious how folks are using Azure Blob for raster data management.

Thanks in advance

I also wanted to mention that we have significant amount of raster data (Approx. 200TB)  and we are very interested in using Azure Blob storage for  cost efficiency compared to Azure Files, and NetApp Shares.
