Hi @Khushi Yadav

One possible Azure solution to accomplish this job is to use Azure Functions and Azure Blob Storage.

Here are the high-level steps to set up this solution:

Create an Azure Function that is triggered by a new file arrival in Blob Storage.

Configure the Azure Function to run a Docker container that contains the validator program.

Pass the new file to the validator program as an input parameter.

Have the validator program generate the report and save it to Blob Storage.

Use the Microsoft Teams connector to post the report to a Teams channel.

Here are some more details on how to set up each step:

Create an Azure Function that is triggered by a new file arrival in Blob Storage: Create a new Azure Function with a Blob Storage trigger and configure the trigger to watch for new files in the Blob Storage container.

Configure the Azure Function to run a Docker container that contains the validator program: Create a Docker container that contains the validator program and push the Docker container to a container registry. Configure the Azure Function to use the Docker container as the runtime.

Pass the new file to the validator program as an input parameter: In the Azure Function code, pass the new file to the validator program as an input parameter.

Have the validator program generate the report and save it to Blob Storage: In the validator program, generate the report and save it to Blob Storage.

Use the Microsoft Teams connector to post the report to a Teams channel

By using Azure Functions and Azure Blob Storage, you can create a scalable and cost-effective solution that can validate new files as they arrive in Blob Storage and share the report in a Teams channel.
