Proposed changes

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for hosting static content in Azure Blob Storage using private endpoints through NGINXaaS for Azure.

Changes Made

  • Added new guide: "Hosting static content in Azure Blob Storage using private endpoints"
  • Updated existing guide to "Hosting static content locally"
  • Added cross-references between the two hosting methods
  • Documented secure blob storage configuration with private endpoints and SAS token authentication
  • Provided complete NGINX configuration examples with Azure internal DNS resolution
  • Implemented maximum security approach with complete network isolation

Benefits

  • Addresses payload size limitations (3MB) of local hosting
  • Enables hosting of larger static websites with enterprise-level security
  • Provides complete network isolation with private endpoints
  • Uses SAS tokens for controlled, time-limited access
  • Eliminates public Internet exposure of storage accounts
  • Provides alternative hosting method for users requiring maximum security
