    You should use sum for Ingress. For the right aggregation options on metrics, you can refer to https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-metrics-in-azure-monitor?toc=%2fazure%2fstorage%2fblobs%2ftoc.json#transaction-metrics

    @Gollu Venkata Shyam Swaroop Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused. ! You can use the Azure Premium file share. Azure Premium Files provides fully managed file services optimised to deliver consistent performance. It’s designed for IO intensive enterprise workloads that require high throughput and a single digit millisecond latency.

    Premium Files stores data on the latest solid-state drives (SSDs), which makes it suitable for a wide variety of workloads like file services, databases, persistent storage for containers, content and collaboration repositories and analytics, among many others.

    Details of Azure Premium file share.
