I have data in .cvs delivered from outside. I would like to use SFTP to allow transfer the files into Azure Blob Storage. I have applications in AKS which want to use these data form .csv files. What should I do?
Is it better to:

  1. create container instances and connect with File Share from existing Storage Account (what enabled Kubernetes apps to get these data form File Share)
    or
  2. Run SFTP server inside AKS cluster and connect with File Share, what enabled Kubernetes apps getting data from File Share

Please, get me some recommendation.

    @Urszula Gryczan
    Azure Blob Storage or Azure Files do not natively support SFTP. If you wish to use SFTP with Azure Blob Storage you would need to use a third party service. It sounds like using Azure Files with AKS would be a good solution for you. You can utilize your existing storage account and create the file share. For information on setting up AKS with Azure Files you can refer to this page.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have further questions or issues and I will be happy to assist.
