What is the limit on the number of partitions that can belong to an Azure table?
The only decent source of information regarding table storage limitations I have found are here (2012) and here(2010).

Azure Storage Table was not created by God, it was created by folks like us (much smarter though). It has limitations on size of a single row (1 MB), size of a single column (64KB), number of columns per row (255) and so on.
This article discusses partitioning a table in Azure Table storage and strategies you can use to ensure efficient scalability. Azure provides cloud storage that is highly available and highly scalable.
The underlying storage system for Azure is provided through a set of services, including Azure Blob storage, Azure Table storage, Azure Queue storage, and Azure Files. Azure Table storage is designed to store structured data. The Azure Storage service supports an unlimited number of tables.
To increase the throughput of the server, the storage system load-balances the partitions to other servers. The result is that the traffic is distributed across many other servers. For optimal load balancing of traffic, you should use more partitions so that Azure Table storage can distribute the partitions to more partition servers.
There is no limit. As your links suggest, there are mostly scalability targets and limitations on the physical keys and entities that describe the table schema.
