Clarification regarding storage account in web applications

I have an on-premises mvc application with a database calls to one more server.

When I deploy this application to windows azure, I am curious to know what will be stored in the storage account for this cloud service? Is it database records or something else?

Given you mentioned creating a Cloud Service (so, I'm assuming Web Role for your MVC app): The deployment needs a storage account, at a minimum, for storing diagnostic log information, as well as your cloud service package and configuration.

Storage account is mostly used for "Blob" storage. In Azure environment we should not prefer to store blob data( like image and doc/PDF ) in database.best practice to store blob storage link.

Azure Storage provides the flexibility to store and retrieve large amounts of unstructured data, such as documents and media files with Azure Blobs; structured nosql based data with Azure Tables; reliable messages with Azure Queues and use SMB based Azure Files for migrating on-premises applications to the cloud.
