Azure Storage

About Azure Storage​

Azure Storage is a cloud-based storage solution provided by Microsoft Azure. It offers scalable and secure storage options for a wide range of data, including unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data.

Integration Options​

Azure Storage supports 2 primary integration options with OpenFn:

  1. Rest API: Azure Storage has a REST API that enables external services like OpenFn to pull data from Azure Storage, or push data from external apps to Azure Storage. This option is suited for scheduled, bulk syncs or workflows that must update data in Azure Storage with external information. See functions for more on how to use this adaptor to work with the API.
  2. Webhook: Webhook or Data Forwarding to push data from Azure Storage to external systems (see docs). This option is suited for real-time, event-based data integration.

Authentication​

  1. See Azure Storage docs for the latest on supported authentication methods.
  2. When integrating with Azure Storage via OpenFn, there is one primary authentication method that is supported: API Key. See this adaptor's Configuration docs for more on the required authentication parameters.

See platform docs on managing credentials for how to configure a credential in OpenFn. If working locally or if using a Raw JSON credential type, then your configuration will look something like this:

{
  "accountName": "examplestorageaccount01",
  "accountKey": "zzUx5rA4BZkjPet8ztLTEll7azF65Sez7WxGKsJv5B+rp/dby8ARgYpEVe93xFCQDqGBi3FUlxjP+ASt4uepZg=="
}
