Azure Elastic SAN

Azure Elastic SAN is Microsoft’s cloud-native Storage Area Network, delivering an end-to-end experience that mirrors on-premises SAN setups. It simplifies storage resource management by providing a unified interface for provisioning and scaling block storage, effectively bridging the gap between traditional SAN workflows and cloud scalability without requiring complex hybrid configurations.

This solution suits teams migrating from legacy SAN environments who need familiar management patterns in the cloud. The main trade-off is the lack of a free tier; you must commit to pay-as-you-go pricing from the start, meaning there is no zero-cost entry point for testing or small-scale experiments before incurring charges.
