Is there a limit to how many containers one can have in blob storage and seperate SAS policies

azure

Solution

Is there a limit to the amount of blob storage containers within a storage account?

No, there's no limit on the number of storage containers in a storage account. You're limited by the size of the storage account which was recently increased to `500 TB` from `200 TB`.

Is the amount of policies for SAS uris limited?

As far as access policies go, there's a `limit of 5 access policies per container`. So if you're defining all SAS URI rules in your access policy, you could only create 5 SAS URIs per container. However if you're creating SAS URI without an access policy, I don't think there's a limit on the number of SAS URIs you could create.

Problem

In azure blob storage. Is there a limit to the amount of blob storage containers within a storage account? Is the amount of policies for SAS uris limited? Reason for asking. I am considering if its possible to have a storage account and for each user in your application give them their own container and they can access it by a shared access signature.
