save_azure_blob_storage

Saves bytes to Azure Blob Storage.

save_azure_blob_storage uri:string

Description​

The save_azure_blob_storage operator writes bytes to a blob in an Azure Blob Store.

By default, authentication is handled by the Azure SDK’s credential chain which may read from multiple environment variables, such as:

  • AZURE_TENANT_ID
  • AZURE_CLIENT_ID
  • AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
  • AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST
  • AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH
  • AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE

uri: string​

An URI identifying the blob to save to. If the blob and/or do not exist, they will be created.

Supported URI formats:

  1. abfs[s]://[:<password>@]<account>.blob.core.windows.net[/<container>[/<path>]]
  2. abfs[s]://<container>[:<password>]@<account>.dfs.core.windows.net[/path]
  3. abfs[s]://[<account[:<password>]@]<host[.domain]>[<:port>][/<container>[/path]]
  4. abfs[s]://[<account[:<password>]@]<container>[/path]

(1) and (2) are compatible with the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 URIs 1, (3) is for Azure Blob Storage compatible service including Azurite, and (4) is a shorter version of (1) and (2).

Authenticate with the Azure CLI

Run az login on the command-line to authenticate the current user with Azure's command-line arguments.
