Azure storage account: general purpose vs blob storage : <p>Having the need to store and access blobs which type of storage account is the most appropriate? Both types (general purpose and blob storage) seem to support blobs and in addition to this general purpose accounts allow selecting default or premium performance while blob storage accounts allow only default performance but on the other hand they also allow selecting the access tier (cool or hot).</p>

<p>In the end I find unclear what would be the best option.</p>
