Explore how Microsoft Azure Storage implements standardized block storage protocols like iSCSI and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) within a hyperscale, distributed, cloud-native platform in this technical conference presentation. Discover the architectural approaches used to bring traditional storage interfaces to the cloud while maintaining elasticity and scale for enterprise workloads migrating from on-premises environments. Learn about the technical challenges and solutions for protocol termination, volume lifecycle management, secure multi-tenancy, and high availability implementation across a globally distributed backend. Understand how performance isolation is maintained across different tenants and workloads in this distributed storage system. Gain insights into the design decisions and engineering considerations required to support legacy block storage protocols without compromising the cloud-native benefits of Azure Storage's software-defined architecture.
