Page Blobs
Page blobs are a collection of 512-byte pages optimized for random read and write operations.
Page blobs store random access files up to 8 TiB in size. Page blobs store virtual hard drive (VHD) files and serve as disks for Azure virtual machines.
A write to a page blob can overwrite just one page, some pages, or up to 4 MiB of the page blob. Writes to page blobs happen in-place and are immediately committed to the blob.
They are one of the possible ways to use [[azure-blob-storage]].

Azure Blob Storage
The storage service offers three types of blobs: [[azure-blob-storage-block-blobs]], [[azure-blob-storage-append-blobs]], and [[azure-blob-storage-page-blobs]]. You specify the blob type when you create the blob. Once the blob has been created, its type cannot be changed.
