Description

Currently azure cloud provide only supports azure disk snapshot, and azure file plugin is also a common storage layer which could provide multiple read/write. Azure file snapshot doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-snapshots-files

@rosskukulinski

I could also do the code review work of all azure part since I have been working on k8s on azure storage for a long time.
