Azure - Access for the Azure Blob Storage account

For Snowflake on Azure, Structural uses an Azure storage account to load and unload data to and from Azure Blob Storage.

In the workspace configuration, you provide the storage location, account name, and the authentication.

For the authentication, you can either:

• On a self-hosted instance, set the access key for the storage account as the value of the environment setting TONIC_AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY. The access key is available from the storage account portal under Access keys.
• Provide the storage account key manually.
• Use a service principal. If you use a service principal, then they must be assigned the Storage Blob Data Contributor role in Azure. For more information, go to the Azure documentation.
