How to make remote storage with Azure?

Question

linux

Good day.
There is access to Azure, and finances in the region of $ 150 per month, there was a need to make a remote storage that will be mounted to a partition on the local linux-machine.
Actually, what is the best way to do it? Run on azure Ubuntu VM and mount it via sshfs/fstab , or are there more economical and faster solutions? If vm, then what processor / ram configuration is enough to work with files?
Plus, on azure there is such a thing as bandwidth, which you need to pay extra for, as I understand it .. If someone has experience in this aspect, please give advice on whether this is worth worrying about.

I will only add that if you really want to use this storage remotely, then it might really be better to create a virtual machine in which to mount the Azure storage , and then export this folder again via NFS. SMB is not the best protocol for accessing storage via the Internet, the speed will be low.
But you can test it first, maybe SMB3 shares will work pretty well even over the Internet.
