Which service on Azure is best for video storage, retrival and streaming?

Question

I currently have a database that stores the videos I upload through my app. The file paths are saved in the database, while the actual video files are stored in a local folder. I want to move both my database and the videos to the cloud. Additionally, I want users(students and lectures - so usage might vary) to be able to upload, stream, and download videos from the cloud. Which cloud media service would be the best option to handle all of these features? Is Azure Blob Storage the best choice?

Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Here's a recommended solution:

Azure Blob Storage: Use this for storing your video files. It's cost-effective, scalable, and designed for large-scale unstructured data storage

Azure Database for MySQL: Use this to replace your current database. It's a fully managed relational database service

Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN): Integrate this with Blob Storage to improve video delivery performance, especially for users in different geographical locations
