Azurite emulator for Local Azure Storage Development

Introduction

Docker provides a wide range of Images that help to run the required applications or services in localhost without installing.

  • Docker Image: mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite.
  • YAML: YAML stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language, but it originally stood for Yet Another Markup Language.
  • Volume: Volumes are the preferred mechanism for persisting data generated by and used by Docker containers.
