Supported Azure Blob Storage URLs ​

The following cloud storage URLs for Azure Blob Storage are supported:

  • az schemed URLs in the form az://<account>/<container>/<blob>.

Authentication ​

Sprocket supports authentication to Azure Blob Storage using shared key authentication.

Follow these instructions for viewing your account keys.

Use the AZURE_ACCOUNT_NAME and AZURE_ACCESS_KEY environment variables to configure Azure Blob Storage authentication in Sprocket.

This overrides any Azure Blob Storage authentication settings in sprocket.toml.

Command line options ​

Use the --azure-account-name and --azure-access-key options to the sprocket run command to configure Azure Storage authentication in Sprocket.

This overrides any Azure Blob Storage authentication settings in sprocket.toml.

Configuration ​

Azure Blob Store authentication can be configured with the run.storage.azure.auth section in sprocket.toml:

toml
[run.storage.azure.auth]
account_name = "<account-name>"
access_key = "<access-key>"

Where account-name is the Azure Storage account name and access-key is the account's access key.

WARNING

On Unix operating systems, it is recommended that your sprocket.toml has an access permission of 0600 if it contains secrets like an Azure Storage account key.
