Answer 1

Hello Renan,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to upload four Python scripts and point the output to a Blob Storage within the Azure environment.

The process involves using Azure services like Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) or Azure Batch for running the scripts and Azure Blob Storage for storing the output. Depending on your capacity and resources, the below will guide you on more details for each of the processes. After you must have set up your Azure account and storage accounts.

Option A: If you are using Azure Virtual Machine (VM) to upload.

• Create a Windows VM in Azure - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal
• Connect to a Windows VM using RDP - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/connect-rdp
• Install Python on Windows - https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#installation
• Upload files to Windows VM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/connect-rdp#transfer-files-to-your-windows-virtual-machine
• Get Azure Storage Account Connection String - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-account-create?tabs=azure-portal#obtain-your-storage-account-keys
• Upload Files to Azure Blob Storage Using Python - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-python)

Option B: If you are using Azure Batch to upload.

• Create an Azure Batch account - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-create-account-portal
• Create a Pool, Job and manage Azure Batch Pool - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-pools
• Upload and manage data with Azure Blob Storage - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-quickstart-blobs-portal#upload-a-blob

I done a lot of Googling yesterday and I saw this option that you can deploy Python code into Azure via Visual Studio using Azure function.

Can you confirm it ? I like this option.
