Rainbow.Storage.AzureBlob

An Azure Blob Storage data store extension library for Rainbow, Sitecore serialization library.

The current version is working only to sync changes from Azure - writing to Azure is not implemented.

Unicorn configuration example

The config patch file example.

<configuration name="Sitecore.Project.Demo.Media">
 
  <targetDataStore
    cloudRootPath="/media"
    containerName="serialization"
    connectionString="<AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING>"
    type="Rainbow.Storage.AzureBlob.SerializationBlobStorageDataStore, Rainbow.Storage.AzureBlob"
    useDataCache="false"
    useBlobListCache="false"
    useBigFilesLazyLoad="false"
    singleInstance="true"
    patch:instead="targetDataStore[@type='Rainbow.Storage.SerializationFileSystemDataStore, Rainbow']"
  />

</configuration>

Parameters

• useDataCache="false" - default Rainbow configuration.

• useBlobListCache="true" initialize the full list of file to memory and doesn't update the file list. It makes sense to use if you need to sync many items.

• useBigFilesLazyLoad="true" do lazy loading of items to reduce usage of memory. It makes sense to use in case if:

1. you upload big size items.
2. you have a lot of dependencies (Unicorn uses the mechanism of retrying keeping the data in memory).
