Azure Blobs Storage Driver Documentation

Connecting to Azure Blobs

To connect to Azure Blobs you need your storage account name and access key.

You can retrieve this information in the Azure Management Portal by going to "Storage Accounts" -> "Access Keys" as shown on the screenshots below.

Note that libcloud only supports general purpose storage accounts so make sure to select the "Storage (general purpose v1)" account kind when creating your storage account as shown on the screenshot below.

Instantiating a driver

Once you have obtained your credentials you can instantiate the driver as shown below.

/examples/storage/azure/instantiate.py

Connecting to self-hosted Azure Storage implementations

To facilitate integration testing, libcloud supports connecting to the Azurite storage emulator. After starting the emulator, you can instantiate the driver as shown below.

/examples/storage/azure/instantiate_azurite.py

This instantiation strategy can also be adapted to connect to other self-hosted Azure Storage implementations such as Azure Blob Storage on IoT Edge.
