It allows for the storage of structured data, which can be accessed via a simple REST API, providing flexibility and scalability for applications that require quick access to large volumes of data without the need for the complex joins of SQL-based databases.

This makes Table storage ideal for applications that need to manage large amounts of structured or semi-structured data easily, such as user data for web applications or any scenario where fast read and writes are essential without adhering to a strict schema. The design allows for efficient querying and flexibility in handling varied types of data.

Queue storage is designed for messaging between application components, allowing for asynchronous communication. File storage offers fully managed file shares in the cloud accessible via the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol, and while it could store data, it is not geared toward the NoSQL paradigm. Therefore, when specifically looking for NoSQL data storage capabilities, Azure Table storage
