How to connect your Azure Blob Storage
Learn how to connect your Azure Blob Storage to Weap.io
Connecting your Azure Blob Storage account to Weap.io is simple and quick.
1. Create an Azure Storage account
Open your Azure portal and on the sidebar hover your mouse over Storage accounts
until a small modal appears. On the modal click Create
.
Now it's time to configure the new storage. Create a new resource group with an intuitive name (we named it weap-backups
for this example).
Next, you must type a unique Storage account name
. This must be unique across all existent Azure storage names.
The next thing is to select a region. For this example, we selected Germany West Central
.
The Standard
performance is more than enough but if you want, feel free to choose Premium
.
As Redundancy
we selected GRS, but again, fell free to change it if you have different requirements.
As the final step, click the button Review + create
and proceed with the creation of the new storage.
2. Create a new container
After creating the storage, click the button Go to resource
.
On the resource page, click Containers
on the left sidebar and then click + Container
to create a new container.
A new sidebar on the right will appear. Give a name to your container and click Create
. Remember this name because you will need it later.
3. Generate the Access Key
On the resource page click Access keys
on the left sidebar.
Now you can see the access keys for your new storage. Copy the Storage account name
and the first Key
.
4. Add the storage to Weap.io
Open your Weap.io dashboard and go to the Storages
settings. Click the Add storage
button, select the Azure Blob Storage
provider and fill the form with the follwoing details:
