Blob storage (block, append, page) in Azure - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a block blob client in Azure Blob Storage.

Azure

blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'blockblob1'

B'appendblob'

C'pageblob'

D'blobcontainer'

Common Mistakes

Using blob type instead of blob name

Using container name instead of blob name

To create a block blob client, you specify the blob name as a string. The type is determined by the client method, so the blob name should be the actual blob's name.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to upload data to an append blob.

Azure

append_blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client([1])
append_blob_client.create_append_blob()
append_blob_client.append_block(data)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'blockblob1'

B'container1'

C'pageblob1'

D'appendblob1'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using block blob name for append blob client

Using container name instead of blob name

Append blobs are used for append operations like logs. The blob name should reflect the append blob you want to create.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to upload a page blob with correct size alignment.

Azure

page_blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client([1])
page_blob_client.create_page_blob(size=5120)
page_blob_client.upload_page(data, offset=0, length=512)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'blockblob1'

B'pageblob1'

C'appendblob1'

D'container1'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using block or append blob names

Incorrect size alignment for page blob

Page blobs require the size to be a multiple of 512 bytes. The blob name must be for a page blob.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create and upload a block blob with data.

Azure

block_blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client([1])
block_blob_client.upload_blob([2], overwrite=True)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'blockblob2'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong blob type names

Passing blob name instead of data to upload_blob

The first blank is the block blob name. The second blank is the data variable holding the content to upload.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create an append blob, append data, and set metadata.

Azure

append_blob_client = container_client.get_blob_client([1])
append_blob_client.create_append_blob()
append_blob_client.append_block([2])
append_blob_client.set_blob_metadata([3])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

C{'source': 'app', 'type': 'log'}

D'blockblob3'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using block blob name

Passing wrong data variable

Incorrect metadata format

The first blank is the append blob name. The second is the data variable to append. The third is a dictionary with metadata keys and values.
