The Microsoft Azure Storage Platform is probably one of the largest scale services you can imagine, running at a dazzling 30M transactions per second and keeping trillions of objects under management at Exabyte scale.

In this session, we will walk you through the internals of the architecture, the different layers of the implementation and explain how this service achieves its amazing uptime, combined with automagic geo-replication. We will go in depth on blob storage and talk you through the newest tier called Archive as well as the innovations by Microsoft Research to build sustainable low cost storage mechanisms that you never thought possible. As a take away, we will learn you the different ways to access the storage platform and share an overview of both simple and very complex mechanisms to get the best throughput.

Get ready for a brain meltdown, as this session will be 666
