microsoftdocs/azure-container-storage
Expert knowledge for Azure Container Storage development including troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, and configuration. Use when configuring Elastic SAN-backed pools, CMK encryption, LRS/ZRS redundancy, volume resizing, or Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, and other Azure Container Storage related development tasks. Not for Azure Blob Storage (use azure-blob-storage), Azure Files (use azure-files), Azure Elastic SAN (use azure-elastic-san), Azure NetApp Files (use azure-netapp-files).
