Impact of upgrading BlobStorage to general purpose v2 storage

Question

Hi,

I want to upgrade my storage account type from BlobStorage to general purpose v2 (as Azure Data Factory supports Storage events triggers only for general purpose v2 storage accounts).

I want to know the impact of upgrade on the existing triggers and pipelines associated with the storage account and will any changes be required from our side on the existing triggers and pipelines associated with the storage account.

Thanks,
Bhagyesh

@Bhagyesh Patil Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

"Is there any impact after upgrading to GPV2(Existing triggers and pipelines associated with the storage account)?"
There are no impacts if BlobStorage account is upgraded to General-purpose v2 account. The container / blob urls are still the same after upgraded. General-purpose v2 account contains all the features in the legacy BlobStorage account. Please refer to this article for more information. It will enable the additional new feature of the v2 version. But if you are accessing any application programmatically then you needed to upgrade your package otherwise you may get exception .

There is no downtime or risk of data loss associated with upgrading to a general-purpose v2 storage account. The account upgrade happens via a simple Azure Resource Manager operation that changes the account type.

Note: There will be changes in the pricing, for more information on pricing see here

Please let us know if you have any further queries. I’m happy to assist you further.
