Azure Blob Storage

This page describes the configuration options for the Azure Blob Storage resource. The Azure Blob Storage resource is used to configure an Azure Container as a storage backend.

Configuring the container

To configure the container, you must specify the storage account’s location and the container’s name:

apiVersion: kannika.io/v1alpha
kind: Storage
metadata:
  name: azure-storage
spec:
  azureContainer:
    location: https://my-account.blob.core.windows.net/
    container: my-container
    directory: /path/to/directory       # Optional directory
    description: "This is a container"  # Optional description

The directory name must adhere to the Azure Blob Storage directory naming rules.

Caution

Changing the location, container or directory will not move existing data.

Configuring authentication to the Azure container

Please see the section on Azure Authentication for information on how to configure access to the Azure Blob Storage.

Configuring a data retention policy

A retention policy to delete old data can be configured in a Backup.

Make sure the container has no lifecycle policy susceptible to delete or move files, or it might interfere with Armory’s own book keeping.
