Using Spring Native with Spring Cloud Azure Storage Blob Starter

This code sample demonstrates how to read and write files with the Spring Resource abstraction for Azure Storage using the Spring Cloud Azure storage starter, and build the native executable with Spring Native.

What You Will Build

You will build an application that use Spring Resource abstraction to read and write data with Azure Storage Blob.

What You Need

Provision Azure Resources Required to Run This Sample

This sample will create Azure resources using Terraform. If you choose to run it without using Terraform to provision resources, please pay attention to:

Important

If you choose to use a security principal to authenticate and authorize with Azure Active Directory for accessing an Azure resource please refer to Authorize access with Azure AD to make sure the security principal has been granted the sufficient permission to access the Azure resource.

Authenticate Using the Azure CLI

Terraform must authenticate to Azure to create infrastructure.

In your terminal, use the Azure CLI tool to setup your account permissions locally.

az login

Your browser window will open and you will be prompted to enter your Azure login credentials. After successful authentication, your terminal will display your subscription information. You do not need to save this output as it is saved in your system for Terraform to use.

You have logged in. Now let us find all the subscriptions to which you have access...

[
  {
    "cloudName": "AzureCloud",
    "homeTenantId": "home-Tenant-Id",
    "id": "subscription-id",
    "isDefault": true,
    "managedByTenants": [],
    "name": "Subscription-Name",
    "state": "Enabled",
    "tenantId": "0envbwi39-TenantId",
    "user": {
      "name": "your-username@domain.com",
      "type": "user"
    }
  }
]

If you have more than one subscription, specify the subscription-id you want to use with command below:

az account set --subscription <your-subscription-id>

Provision the Resources

After login Azure CLI with your account, now you can use the terraform script to create Azure Resources.

Run with Bash

# In the root directory of the sample
# Initialize your Terraform configuration
terraform -chdir=./terraform init

# Apply your Terraform Configuration
terraform -chdir=./terraform apply -auto-approve

Run with Native Tools Command Prompt

# In the root directory of the sample
# Initialize your Terraform configuration
terraform -chdir=terraform init

# Apply your Terraform Configuration
terraform -chdir=terraform apply -auto-approve

It may take a few minutes to run the script. After successful running, you will see prompt information like below:

azurerm_resource_group.main: Creating...
azurerm_resource_group.main: Creation complete after 3s ...
azurerm_storage_account.application: Creating...
azurerm_storage_account.application: Still creating... [10s elapsed]
azurerm_storage_account.application: Creation complete after 39s ...
azurerm_storage_container.application: Creating...
azurerm_storage_container.application: Creation complete after 1s ...
azurerm_role_assignment.storage_blob_contributor: Creating...
azurerm_role_assignment.storage_blob_contributor: Still creating... [20s elapsed]
azurerm_role_assignment.storage_blob_contributor: Creation complete after 26s...

...
Apply complete! Resources: 6 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

You can go to Azure portal in your web browser to check the resources you created.

Export Output to Your Local Environment

NOTE: If you are building a lightweight container containing a native executable, you can skip this section step.

Running the command below to export environment values:

Run with Bash

source ./terraform/setup_env.sh

Run with Native Tools Command Prompt

terraform\setup_env.bat

If you want to run the sample in debug mode, you can save the output value.

AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=...

Run Locally

Run the sample based on Spring Native

There are two main ways to build a Spring Boot native application.

Run with Buildpacks

  • System Requirements

Docker should be installed, see System Requirements for more details.

  • Build the native application

NOTE: If you want to build a lightweight container containing a native executable, Please avoid using DefaultAzureCredential for authentication first.

Add the spring.cloud.azure.storage.blob.account-key configuration, and replace the relevant values in application.yml according to the saved output variable value. You can find these values in the temp file terraform/terraform.tfstate, or you can visit the Azure portal to get them.

Run mvn -Pbuildpack package spring-boot:build-image, see Build the native application for more details.

mvn -Pbuildpack package spring-boot:build-image
  • Run the native application

Run docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 storage-blob-native:1.0.0, see Run the native application for more details.

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 storage-blob-native:1.0.0

Run with Native Build Tools

  • System Requirements

GraalVM native-image compiler should be installed, see System Requirements for more details. If using the Windows platform, you need to install Visual Studio Build Tools.

  • Build the native application

Run mvn -Pnative -DskipTests package command using x64 Native Tools Command Prompt, see Build the native application for more details.

mvn -Pnative -DskipTests package
  • Run the native application

Run target\storage-blob-native, see Run the native application for more details.

target\storage-blob-native

Verify This Sample

  1. Check out the following console log:

    StorageApplication data initialization begin ...
    Write data to container=blobcontainer, filePath=azure-blob://blobcontainer/fileName-*.txt
    Downloaded data from the azure storage blob resource: data-*
    Get the data content through this address 'curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/blob/fileName-*.txt'.
    StorageApplication data initialization end ...
    
  2. [Optional] Write and read a file.
    2.1 Send a POST request to update file contents.

    curl http://localhost:8080/blob/file1.txt -d "new message" -H "Content-Type: text/plain"

    2.2 Verify by sending a GET request.

    curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/blob/file1.txt
  3. [Optional] Using AzureStorageBlobProtocolResolver to get Azure Storage Blob resources with file pattern.

    curl -XGET http://localhost:8080/blob

    Verify in app's log that a similar messages was posted:

    1 resources founded with pattern:*.txt

Clean Up Resources

After running the sample, if you don't want to run the sample, remember to destroy the Azure resources you created to avoid unnecessary billing.

The terraform destroy command terminates resources managed by your Terraform project.
To destroy the resources you created.

Run with Bash

terraform -chdir=./terraform destroy -auto-approve

Run with Native Tools Command Prompt

terraform -chdir=terraform destroy -auto-approve
