Here's a brief look at the container, which provides a logical grouping of blobs stored in the Windows Azure Blob service. When you upload a blob to the BLOB service, you must specify a container for the BLOB. The container constitutes a URI part that uniquely identifies the Blob.

Use the Containers page to create a new container, view its contents, configure its properties and metadata, or delete a container. Note that when you delete a container, all the blobs contained in the container are deleted and cannot be recovered.

Use edit container to manage access to container resources (blobs within that container, as well as container properties and metadata). You can also define container metadata in the form of a custom name-value pair.

To upload a blob to the BLOB service, you will need to use a tool to manage blobs or to upload blobs programmatically. In Microsoft Visual Studio, you can use Server Explorer to upload blobs.
