Prerequisites

None.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

Select the authorization type that you want to consider while setting up the account. Options available are:

  • Access Key
  • SAS URI


Primary access keyStringAppears when you select Access Key in the Auth Type. 

Enter the primary access key is associated with the Azure storage account. 

NoneN/A
 SAS URIStringAppears when you select SAS URI in the Auth Type. 

Specify the URI containing SAS token to perform read/write operations in the Azure Storage account.

You can generate SAS URI either in the Azure portal or from the SAS Generator Snap. 

If you provide the SAS URI in the Snap, then the Snap considers the URI given in the Snap and ignores the URI in the account settings.

Blob endpointStringN/A
The Azure storage blob endpoint. Leave this field empty to use the default endpoint ("https://<storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net").
N/Aazureaccountname.blob.core.windows.net
Request Size (MB)IntegerN/A

Specify the buffer size (in MB) to be used by the corresponding Binary Snap before performing the required action in the Azure storage.

  • For writing large files, specifying a value in this field ensures that the specified buffer limit is filled before calling the Azure API to write data to Azure storage. If the file size is smaller than the specified buffer limit, Snap calls the Azure API as soon as the file is stored in the buffer.

  • We recommend that you set the Request Size to the maximum limit so that the execution time is fast. However, this can consume memory. If the value of the Request size is small and the file size is large then the Snap might need to make multiple API calls to write to Azure storage, which might affect the performance.
