Explanation

You can store logs in the Azure table storage or Blob storage but Microsoft itself recommends using Blob storage. Azure Storage Analytics stores log data in Blob storage. This 'Azure Storage Table Design Guide' points out several draw backs of using table storage for logs and also provides details on how to use the blob storage to store logs. Read the 'Log data anti-pattern' section in particular for this use case. Blob storage is not an option in answers, so the choice shall be Azure table storage. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/tables/table-storage-design-patterns#log-data-
