Azure Blob Storage

Azure Blob storage is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data.

Blob storage is designed for:

  • Serving images or documents directly to a browser.
  • Storing files for distributed access.
  • Streaming video and audio.

It can also be used to act as an origin for files hosted on Azure CDN.

Cloud CMS supports Azure Blob Storage in two ways:

  • Azure Deployment Handler
  • Azure Binary Storage Provider

Azure Blob Storage Deployment Handler

The Azure Blob Storage Deployment Handler lets you deploy
content from Cloud CMS to Azure Blob Storage containers. In this way, editorial users can push content to Azure and
Azure CDN with the touch of a button.

For more information on this, please check out the Azure Blob Storage Deployment Handler documentation.

Azure Blob Binary Storage Provider

You can additionally configure Cloud CMS to use Azure Blob Storage as a backing store for all binary content received
through the API. For information on this, please check out our formal Docker documentation on setting up binary
storage providers for
Azure Blob Storage.
